Practice questions

1 of 16Practice questions for this set
Two populations of the same ground beetle species live in the same farm field. The only visible trait difference is shell color. After one breeding season, students counted the number of offspring produced per adult. Which statement is supported by the evidence that traits can influence reproductive success? Data (same field, same season):
  • Dark-shell beetles: 40 adults produced 120 offspring
  • Light-shell beetles: 40 adults produced 60 offspring
