question 106.7 pts
how can geography lead to reproductive isolation?
group of answer choices
subspecies may choose to occupy different areas for competitive reasons
a physical barrier may arise and separate a population, preventing interbreeding
some populations may have a milder habitat than other populations
extremes of temperatures may reduce the breeding opportunities for some

question 116.6 pts
which of these scenarios is an example of natural selection?
group of answer choices
people kill rattlesnakes that rattle when approached by humans, but people do not kill rattlesnakes that remain silent. the quiet snakes survive and breed
dogs that have a desirable coat color are bred with one another to produce puppies with the same coat color
giraffes that have longer necks survive a dry season by eating leaves from the tops of trees. those giraffes breed more successfully that year
farmers crossbreed two types of cows to produce a breed of cow that has high quality beef and can tolerate a hot climate

chromosomes
individuals
gene flow
gene pool

question 136.7 pts
how do mutations influence evolution?
group of answer choices
a heritable characteristic that increases an organisms chance at surviving and reproducing in its given environment
the mutation causes more awareness and intelligence so that the organism can out compete others
a change in the dna produces a variation within the gene
creates a new body part or structure that allows for a better chance at survival
