Populations can have variety, despite being made up of the same species. If a population has different expressed traits, this can be due to different inherited allele. The frogs below are the same species, but they have different shades of green based on their inherited alias. In a particular and fireman, lighter green frogs are easier to see by predators explain how natural selection could lead to a change in allele frequency

Question

Use extremely simple vocabulary like a middle schooler and keep everything extremely short and simple straight to the point no yapping

Answer 1

In a group of frogs, some are light green and some are dark green. Predators can see the light green frogs more easily.

1. Predation: Light green frogs get eaten more often than dark green frogs.

2. Survival: Dark green frogs survive longer because they are harder to see.

3. Reproduction: The dark green frogs have more babies because they live longer.

4. Allele Frequency: Over time, more frogs will be dark green. The genes (alleles) for dark green become more common in the population.

This is how natural selection changes the number of certain traits in a group of frogs.

Answer 2

Keep it all just a few sentences

Answer 3

In a group of frogs, light green ones are easier for predators to see and eat. Dark green frogs survive longer and have more babies. Over time, there will be more dark green frogs because they are better at staying alive. This shows how natural selection changes which traits are more common.

Answer 4

Natural selection is an example of a mechanism of evolution. Does this mechanism produce a change in individuals or populations? Explain

Answer the same as the last question

Answer 5

Natural selection affects populations, not individuals. It works over many generations. Some traits help frogs survive better, so more of those frogs live and have babies. Over time, the traits in the whole population change, but individual frogs do not change.

Answer 6

A major point of understanding natural selection is that not all organisms in a population get to reproduce. Consider the term fitness as used in biology. How does this term relate to natural selection

Answer the same as the last question

Answer 7

In biology, "fitness" means how well an organism can survive and reproduce in its environment. Organisms with higher fitness are better at avoiding predators and finding food. Natural selection favors these fit individuals, so they have more babies. Over time, traits that help with fitness become more common in the population.

Answer 8

More simple

Answer 9

In biology, "fitness" means how good an organism is at surviving and having babies. Organisms that are fit can escape predators and find food better. Natural selection helps these fit organisms have more babies, so their traits become more common in the group over time.

Answer 10

Based on the answer above, do organisms with higher fitness mean that they have survived to an advanced stage? Why or why not

Answer 11

Not necessarily. Organisms with higher fitness are good at surviving and reproducing, but they don't always live longer. They just need to be good at avoiding danger and having babies when they are alive. Being fit means they can pass on their traits to the next generation, not that they live for many years.
