In eastern gray squirrels, Sciurus carolinensis, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant to the allele for gray fur (b). In a particular population of gray squirrels, 64% have black fur and 36% have gray fur. A researcher calculated the allelic frequencies to be B = 0.4 and b =0.6. Five years later, the researcher returned to the location and determined the allelic frequencies within the squirrel population to be B = 0.6 and b = 0.4. Which of the following could best explain the increase in the frequency of the Ballele in the population after five years?
(A) The frequency of the B allele increased because it is the dominant allele.
(B) The frequency of the Ballele increased because squirrels with gray fur exhibited greater fitness.
(C) The frequency of the B allele increased due to the selective pressures of the environment.
(D) The frequency of the Ballele increased because black squirrels randomly mate with other eastern gray squirrels.

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.
