(04.01 MC) Among a migrating species of fish, one individual migrates further than any other in its population. As a result, the fish develops stronger swimming muscles than any other individual in its population, allowing it to catch more prey. Will the fish’s offspring be favored by natural selection? Why or why not? (3 points)

(04.04 MC) Female sea turtles return to land after they are mature in order to lay their eggs. Why would female turtles spend more time on land than males? (3 points)

(04.05 LC) What is overproduction? (3 points)

(05.01 LC) Which scenario describes a way that a biotic factor can impact a freshwater ecosystem? (3 points)

(04.03 LC) Which of the definitions below best defines biomagnification? (3 points)

(04.03 MC) What relationship exists between the densities of predator and prey populations, according to the graph “Population Change of a Predator and its Prey Over Time”? (3 points)

(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)

(06.04 LC) What general term describes the practice of drawing conclusions from data about natural phenomena? (3 points)

(06.01 MC) Why does the presence of invasive species generally result in a decrease in biodiversity of native species in an area? (3 points)
