Given a population that contains genetic variation, what is the correct sequence of the following events, under the influence of natural selection?            1. Differential reproduction occurs            2. A new selective pressure occurs            3. Physical characteristics of the population change            4. Environmental change occurs

More closely related species are more likely to have ___________ reproductive isolating mechanisms, while species that diverged long ago are more likely to have ___________reproductive isolating mechanisms.

Sharks, penguins, and dolphins are all aquatic animals.   They all have streamlined body shape and fin-like structures to help them navigate through their aquatic environments, regardless of ancestral origin (e.g. sharks are fish, dolphins are mammals, penguins are birds, etc.) The evolution of body shape and fin-like structures in these animals represents which of the following?     Select all correct choices.  

When a mother herring gull returns to its nest, its chicks (young offspring) will peck at its beak. Scientists believed that this pecking behavior is a fixed action pattern. In an experiment to determine the sign stimulus of this behavior, scientists made cardboard cutouts of gull heads with different appearances, presented them to the chicks, and recorded the number of times that the chicks pecked at the cutout. The following graph shows the results of this experiment. The gull head on the far left was the control (or, what an actual gull head looks like). Values on this graph represent the percentage of time that gull chicks pecked at each cutout relative to the control. Based on the results of this experiment, what is the most likely sign stimulus for this behavior?
