(04.05 MC) The fur coat of California sea lions can be different shades of brown due to genetic variation. Suppose that the frequency of each fur color changed in a population as shown on the graph below. How will the population change from 2010 to 2020 if light brown sea lions are more reproductively successful than dark brown sea lions in the next decade? (3 points) © 2016 FLVS

(04.01 MC) The average female cod produces two million eggs in a single spawning; however, only about 200 of the original two million cod survive to age one. When cod reach their reproductive age of two to four years, on average, only two of the original two million are still alive. What can you conclude about the traits of the two cod that survived?

(04.05 HC) The Atlantic puffin feeds on several species of Atlantic fish. A population of puffins living on Matinucus Rock was found to feed on the types of fish shown in the graph below. The beaks of this group of puffin are shaped to grasp Species A particularly well. Predict what would happen to the puffins’ beaks if another predator enters the area that is better at preying on Species A. Explain your reasoning based on what you know regarding genetic adaptations. (3 points) © 2016 FLVS
