2. A puppy chews on objects other than food. This type of behavior is • An inherited innate behavior

3. Pheromones are released by an organism that • Affect the behavior of other

3. Pheromones are released by an organism that • Affect the behavior of other animals of the same species.

4. A change in ocean current causes the climate on an island to become

4. A change in ocean current causes the climate on an island to become drier. As a result, the grasses that cover the island change from dark green to light brown. Over time, how might a species of green toads that hide in the grasses and are subjected to predation respond to these changes? • Their coloration will change to brown.

5. When effective insecticide is used on a population of insects, most of the

5. When effective insecticide is used on a population of insects, most of the insects are killed. However, a few may survive due to genes that make the resistant to the insecticide. What is the BEST explanation of why this occurs? • Insects that survived sprayings passed their resistant genes to their offspring.

6. Snowshoe hares experience a change in fur color from brown in the summer

6. Snowshoe hares experience a change in fur color from brown in the summer to white in the winter. Which statement best describes how the appearance of a particular snowshoe hare may change after it lives in a warm climate year-round, for many generations? • It would have brown fur all year long.

7. Less than ten thousand years ago, environmental changes separated some individuals of a

7. Less than ten thousand years ago, environmental changes separated some individuals of a squirrel population to one side of the Grand Canyon. Today, these squirrels now show a white tail and black belly. Their ancestors exhibited gray tails and white bellies. This difference in fur coloring most likely • Is evidence of speciation due to geographical isolation.

16. How will an organism be affected if part of its chromosome is missing?

16. How will an organism be affected if part of its chromosome is missing? • The organism will lack the necessary information to control cell processed.
