Which of the following best explains the change in the frequency distribution of fur color phenotypes in the mouse population as shown in the figures above?

Which of the following best explains the change in the frequency distribution of fur color phenotypes in the mouse population, as shown in the figures above? A new mutation that arose in one copy of gene X in a somatic cell resulted in the formation of a tumor.

Which of the following procedures was most likely followed to determine the change in beak size?

Which of the following procedures was most likely followed to determine the change in beak size? A few finches were trapped in 1981 and again in 1987, and their beak sizes were compared. The beak size in fifteen finches was measured in 1987, and the beak size in the original finches was determined by estimation.

Which of the following best explains the connection between energy, growth, and the maintenance of an ordered system in the experiment? Energy input from light is required for the grass to grow and maintain an ordered structure.

Which of the following is the best evolutionary explanation for the occurrence of ARD in C elegans?

Based on the experimental results, which of the following is the best evolutionary explanation for occurrence of ARD in C. elegans? The ability to enter ARD provides a strong selective advantage because reproduction can occur despite periods of food scarcity.
