Question
Based on today’s lesson, how would you describe the traits of this population?
Responses
All of the horses have the same traits because they are in the same population.
This population has different traits for color: some are brown, some are black, some are gray, and some are white.
None of the horses in this population have similar traits because they are all individuals.
The horses in this population are all the same because they all have a coat, a mane, and a tail.
These horses must not be a population because they have different traits.

Based on the responses provided, the most accurate description of the traits of this population of horses would be:
"This population has different traits for color: some are brown, some are black, some are gray, and some are white."
This statement acknowledges that while the horses belong to the same population, they exhibit variation in certain traits (in this case, color), which is typical of a population that includes genetic diversity. The other responses either incorrectly assert homogeneity or deny the nature of a population that can include individuals with varying traits.
