Next, you’ll build a simulation based on what you think will happen because of natural selection. Here are two considerations:

Some individuals with harmful characteristics can still successfully reproduce, but they have an overall lower chance of doing so compared to organisms with neutral or beneficial traits.
Natural selection may affect distribution of traits. It’s possible that harmful traits could eventually disappear from the gene pool.
Don’t worry about precise population numbers. Based on your understanding of natural selection, you’ll be modeling only one scientifically plausible trend that can occur. There are several correct variations of this diagram. You’ll explain the justification for your choices in part E.

Assume that these plants have a life expectancy of about one year, but the rate of reproduction keeps their population consistently around 2,500 organisms. Using the same elements you used in part C, draw simulations for year 5 and year 10. Clearly label each simulation.

(PART C)
You will build a simulation of a population using the same elements as the simulation pictured here and show how the traits in this population change in years 5 and 10.
Start off with 2,500 plants of which 50% have medium-tip leaves, 25% have wide-tip leaves, and 25% have drip-tip leaves. Each circle in your simulation will represent 125 organisms. Calculate how many circles you need for each trait, and then create your simulation. Be sure to include a key that states the color coding for each trait.

The scales shown in the introduction measure mass, or the amount of matter in a particular object. the scientific law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction, but it can change from one form to another. did the simulation support this scientific law? explain why or why not.

American scientist, linus pauling, was one of many scientists racing to discover the molecular structure of dna. pauling initially thought that the molecule was a triple helix. later, james watson and francis crick unveiled their double helix model, which turned out to be an accurate description of the molecule's shape. why did watson and crick succeed when pauling failed?
