Armadillos give birth to identical quadruplets. A zoo with a healthy population of armadillos gives three to other zoos and retains the fourth. Researchers collect data on each armadillo and find that trait differences develop. What are the likely influences of genetic and environmental factors in these differences? (1 point)

The main benefit of genetic biodiversity is that **genetic biodiversity helps populations adapt to environmental changes.** This allows species to survive and thrive in changing conditions, increasing their resilience and reducing the risk of extinction.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The true statement is: **Neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original.** Neutral mutations typically do not affect the organism's survival or reproductive success, which is why they are termed "neutral."
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The most likely conclusion that can be made for the change in flower color is: **Genetic factors caused the differences in flower color.** Since all plants were grown under the same environmental conditions, it is most plausible that the variation in flower color is due to genetic differences among the plants.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The likely influence of genetic and environmental factors in these differences is: **Variations are due to genetic and environmental factors.** Although the armadillos are genetically identical, they are now in different environments, which can lead to variations in traits due to environmental influences.

The observation that could be used as evidence that the amount of space in an environment can affect an animal's growth is: **Two lizards of the same species grow to different sizes in different-sized terrariums.** This directly relates the amount of space (the size of the terrarium) to the growth of the lizards, suggesting that space may influence their growth.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Yes, I am sure. The observation that **"two lizards of the same species grow to different sizes in different-sized terrariums"** provides direct evidence that varying amounts of space (i.e., the size of the terrarium) can affect the growth of the lizards. This is because the two lizards are genetically the same but are placed in environments that differ in size, allowing researchers to draw conclusions about the impact of space on growth.
