Guppies are small, tropical freshwater fish that display wide variation in coloration. some have bright splotches of blue, red, and orange, while others are quite drab and dull. research has shown that females prefer to mate with brightly colored males; however, this trait makes them more likely to be seen. guppies, like all species, must be able to both survive and reproduce in order to avoid extinction what is one factor that can affect what color trait is selected for a particular environment?

After reading the small text about the Guppies and the importance for them to survive and reproduce in order to avoid extinction gave a pretty general idea of the factors that can affect what color trait is selected for a particular environment. These will be listed below:

 Mutation, Sexual reproduction, meiosis/crossing-over, recombination of genes, natural selection, sexual selection.

I hope this helps, Regards.

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would  notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student,  including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as  edutech.
