The graphs above show a change in distribution of beak phenotypes X, Y, and Z over 10 generations. Notice that Beak X completely disappears from the population by Generation 5, but reappears by Generation 10. Could this occur in nature? How? Yes, the alleles for Beak X could remain in the population as a recessive gene.

Yes, the birds could mutate their beaks in response to a change in the environment.

Yes, genetic mutation is so frequent that Beak X will likely reappear randomly by Generation 10.

No, once birds with Beak X are extinct, they cannot appear again.

Use this dichotomous key for insect identification to identify the insect shown. 1. a. insect has one pair of wings. order diptera b. insect has two pairs of wings. go to #2 2. a. front wings thicker in texture than hind wings go to #3. b. front and hind wings are same texture throughout. go to #4 3. a. front wings are short order dermaptera b. front wings cover entire abdomen order coleoptera 4. a. wings with scale on all parts of their area. order lepidoptera b. wings without scales go to #5. 5. a. hind wings smaller than front wings. order ephemeroptera b. front and hind wings nearly equal in size. order odonata the insect pictured is in the order diptera. ephemeroptera. coleoptera. odonata.
