Mus Musculus 18 A small population of 500 turtles on an island suddenly suffers a natural disaster leaving only 20 surviving turtles. Before the disaster, the turtles had shells with very different shell patterns. After the disaster, the shells all look very similar. What mechanism can best explain this reduction genetic variation?

Which statement about evolution by natural selection isfalse?
Natural selection allows organisms with higher fitness toreproduce more successfully. |
Natural selection favors those traits that confer higherfitness in the environment. |
Natural selection is a random change in characteristics of apopulation over generations. |
Evolution by natural selection affects populations oforganisms, not individual organisms. |
An organism's fitness depends on its _____.
ability to survive and reproduce |
ability to swap genetic material with other organisms |
physical size |
ability to mutate |
population |
Consider the heavily armored stickleback fish population thatcolonized the lake. If all the individuals in that population weregenetically identical, what do you predict would happen when theycolonized the freshwater lake?
The population would increase, as it has increased foodresources. |
The population would evolve through natural selection to bebetter adapted to its environment. |
The population would decrease due to more juvenile fish beingeaten. |

Which of the following are adaptations?
Thicker beaks on finches that allows them to eat large seeds,when large seeds are the most abundant. |
Less armor on stickleback fish in freshwater that allows themto grow faster to avoid predation. |
More armor on stickleback fish in the ocean that prevents themfrom being eaten by larger predators. |
None of the above. |
All of the above. |
