Questions to answer in your lab book 1. Which, if any, shades of paper squares survived
better than others in the second, third, and fourth generation starting populations of paper squares?
0% color survived the best.2. What might be the reason that predators did not select these shades as much as they did other shades?
They blended into the environment and were more difficult to find.

3. What effect did capturing a particular shade square have on the numbers of that shade in the following generations?
The squares that were captured decreased in number in the next generation.4. What is the average color in generation 1? What
is the average color in generation 5?Generation 1 = 50% shadeGeneration 5 = 13% shade

5. Did any 50% shade squares turn into 0% squares? Any 100% squares turn into 50%?
6. If none of the squares changed into other squares, then why is the average member of the dot/square population different after 5 generations?
The 100% shaded squares were “eaten” and could not pass on traits to the next generation. 0% squares continued to survive and pass on traits to next generation.
No

7. How has the amount of variation in the population changed over time?
The amount of variation has decreased in the population over time. More of the population has 0% shade.
8. What affect do you think the environment (habitat and predator) has on the average characteristic and the variation of a population?
The environment determines which characteristics are favorable.

Entry 55: Evolution and Natural Selection
See attached entry:Take out notes page from Block Day- we need to finish the notes on the back…

The environment is the selective force behind evolution
• The environment determines what characteristics are “favorable”
• Because the environment changes over time, the characteristic that is more favorable for a population changes
• Therefore, characteristics of the population change, or evolution occurs

Apply the 4 factors of Natural Selection to the Bird Population

Variation:Bird Beak lengths range from 5cm to 15cmInheritance:DNA codes for the bird’s beak length and is passed on to offspring.Population Limits: Food (fruit and seeds) which were influenced by the drought.
![Page 12: Friday, May 25, 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051219/5681649c550346895dd67c1f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Environmental Selection:Birds with longer beaks (15 cm) were the most successful at getting food/surviving and then reproducing.

Mean (average) beak length

Explain the evolution of color in the peppered moth population.
1. Describe what trait evolved.2.Describe how each of the 4 conditions for natural selection exists in the moth example:
a) Variation b) Inheritance c) Population limits d) Selection (Environmental Selection)Make a graph that shows how the average color changed over several generations

• The population of peppered moths became darker in color near industrial areas.
• Originally, some moths were dark, some moths were peppered (light).
• Color is determined by genes inherited from parents. • Not all moths survive to reproduce- some are eaten
by birds. • Pollution killed lichen and made the environment
darker, so darker moths were better camouflaged and not eaten as much as peppered (light) moths.
• This caused the average color of the moth population to become darker
