As a result of habitat destruction, the size of the Florida panther population has been drastically reduced. It is estimated that there are only 100 to 160 Florida panthers in the wild. Which statement best explains why the Florida panther population may not continue to evolve?
(1) There is no longer a chance of mutations occurring in the population.
(2) There is a lack of competition for limited environmental resources.
(3) There is no longer a chance of a trait providing a reproductive advantage to the population.
(4) There is a lack of genetic variation for selec-tion to act upon.

Which events are likely to be catastrophic to an ecosystem? select the three correct answers. a-hurricane. b-steady population growth. c-seasonal flooding. d-introducing of an aggressive invasive species. e-tsunami.

Scenario 5 1) take 10 red and 10 black beans and place them, mixed, on the table. record the starting phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your starting population in the table provided (generation 0). 2) act as a predator. “capture” as many organisms as you can until you have reduced the population to three organisms. put them aside. at this point, the predators die. 3) the remaining organisms each produce 2 clonal offspring. multiply your organisms accordingly and allow them to mix on the table. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 1). 4) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 2). 5) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 3).
