1)
Which of the following is an example of adaptation?
A rabbit population in which all of the members change fur color from brown to white as the
seasons change.
A butterfly population where each individual makes more of an enzyme for processing plant
toxins as its exposure to toxic plants increases.
An eagle population where adult eagles develop a tolerance for invasive mites over five years.
A fish population in which the average skin brightness decreases over several generations in the
presence of predators.
2)
You encounter two populations of slope ivy on a mountain. Population A is found in a humid
valley. Its leaves are broad and thin, which maximizes sun exposure. Population B is found
higher on the mountain, where the air is dry. Its leaves are thicker and narrower, which
minimizes water loss through evaporation. You don't know how often seeds move between
these populations. Which of the following can you deduce?
Wide, thin leaves are an adaptation in Population A.
Narrow, thick leaves are an adaptation in Population B.
Leaf differences are due to acclimation of the ivy species to different environments.
There is not enough information to infer any of the above options.
Solution
1) The correct answer is : A fish population in which the average skin brightness decreases over
several generations in the presence of predators.
Reason:Adaptation refers to the adjustments made by an organism in response to environmental
stimulus.In this case the stimulus is predation and the adaptation is structural adaptation i.e
decrease in skin brightness.
2) The correct answer is :There is not enough information to infer any of the above options.
Reason: The description does not help to infer a conclusion.
