In a population of beetles, about 1 in every 6 beetles is slightly smaller and lighter in color than the others. the small, lighter beetles are a little better at evading predators and this increases the chances of survival and reproduction. what is likely to happen to the representation of the smaller, lighter beetle in the overall population over time? will the ration remain at roughly 6: 1, or will it change? if it changes, why will it change, and in what direction?

Cladistics is a way of classifying organisms by examining the characteristics of their ancestors and descendants and depicting the relationships in a cladogram. which of the following best describes a challenge in classifying organisms this way? a. there are millions of species on earth, and a cladogram is not a practical means for classifying all of them. b. it is impossible to tell which organisms are most closely related to each other using a cladogram. c. cladograms are detail-oriented and do not provide a useful understanding of evolutionary relationships. d. there is a limited number of ways to organize the information, so most cladograms end up looking very similar.
