1. 1) A species of butterflies shows two different colors:
white and black. White organisms can blend in into branches of
trees which are covered in liquens, so they become less predated by
birds. Industrial development promoted liquens disappearence from
trees due to the massive pollution of air. a. What color has an
advantage in each environment (polluted and non-polluted)? b. What
is going to happen whith this population? Explain using natural
selections theory. 2) According to the following picture: a- What
does the branch length mean? b- Which group is less related to
fishes? c- Mouse and lizard are right next to each other in the
tree. What does this mean? 3) Decide which statement represents the
following ideas: Creationism, Catastrophism, Lamarckism, Darwinism.
a. Some living beings become extict because of events like a
volcanos eruption. b. A population sometimes displays individuals
which show advantages over the others in a given environment. c.
Aquired traits are passed on to the offspring. d. There is genetic
variation in populations. e. A change in the environment can be
favourable for a part of the population. f. If a structure is not
used it becomes lost over time. g. Living beings havent changed
since they were created. 4) Pick two evidences of evolution and
explain them.
