1. The following table shows data about a population of red pandas. If you wanted to present evidence that red panda populations were becoming more diverse over time, which choice correctly identifies the independent and dependent variables you would choose to use in your graph?
*Independent = Generation and Dependent = Nucleotide Diversity
2. The following table shows data about a population of red pandas. Which explanation for the increase in genetic diversity of this red panda population is supported by this data?
*Red pandas in this population have encountered new environmental challenges presented by the increase in deforested land, and this has selected for different adaptations over time.
3. A gardener performs experiments on her tomato plants. When graphing her data, which factor is an independent variable?
*the amount of light each plant receives
4. Suppose the mutation for the sickle cell disease gene first appeared in a region without malaria. The first carrier would have
*had the same likelihood to survive and reproduce as his peers.
5. Which of the following scenarios would reduce the number of inheritable traits in a population, causing the individuals in that population to remain very similar to one another?
*A desert that has existed for millennia.
100% correct as of March 2022
All of these are right but i had one question different, so here is the question and answer for it!
Which statement best explains why the nucleotide diversity of Red Pandas decreased over five generations?
As the acres of deforested land increased, there was more food for the red pandas to eat.
As the population of red pandas decreased, there were a lesser number of genes to be passed down****Correct Answer
As the population of red pandas decreased, there was more food for the red pandas to eat.
As the acres of deforested land increased, there were a greater number of genes to be passed down.
answer is wrong
answers are
A Independent = Generation and Dependent = Nucleotide Diversity
C As the population of red pandas decreased, there were a lesser number of genes to be passed down.
C the amount of light each plant receives
C had the same likelihood to survive and reproduce as his peers.
A A desert that has existed for millennia.
