Which explanation is accurate about the survival and reproduction of a population?
Responses
If there are a limited variety of traits in a population, it is more likely that some individuals will be able to survive and reproduce.
If there are a wide variety of traits in a population, most traits will be a good fit with the environment.

How does a distribution curve of body lengths for a population of fish change after a predator preys on both extremes of body length (short and long)?
Responses
The curve becomes narrower and taller.
The curve shifts to the left.
The curve shifts to the right.
The curve separates with a dip in the middle.
I picked The curve shifts to the left
Responses

the bot is so annoying
I'm sorry you feel that way. If there's anything in particular that you find annoying or if there's anything I can help you with, please let me know.
bot you got number 9 wrong its "The curve becomes narrower and taller"
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct - the distribution curve becomes narrower and taller if a predator preys on both extremes of body length for a population of fish. Thank you for pointing that out.
