The English moth, Biston betularia, is often cited as an example of observed evolution. There are two colors of this moth, light and dark (typica and carbonaria). Kettlewell found that dark moths constituted less than 2% of the population prior to 1848. Then, the
frequency of the dark coloration began to increase. By 1898, the 95% of the moths in Manchester and other highly industrialized
areas were of the dark color. Using the moth example, analyze the events in order to identify support for the statement: natural
selection changes populations, not individuals. Choose ALL that apply.
A)
Variation in the population existed.
B)
Color variation is a result of different gene combinations.
C)
In response to environmental change, moth coloration changed from light
to dark.
D)
Due to natural selection, the ratio of different genetic combinations is
changing
E)
Predator pressure resulted in the light colored genotype being removed
from the gene pool.

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
