Give an example to explain how a species can evolve through natural selection, and why. Use appropriate academic vocabulary and clear and complete sentences. Name: ____________________________________________ Period: _________ Date: ___________________________ Critical Thinking: A certain population of skittlefish found on the colorful Candy Reef come in several different colors (red, orange, yellow, green and purple). They do not like to be in open water, so they take cover in different color corals & seagrass beds to hide from predators. One day, a storm event washed a small part of the population of skittlefish to a nearby, newly established reef filled with only orange coral. Develop a hypothesis of how you think this may affect the population of skittlefish: (remember: if…then…because…) 17. Hypothesis: _____________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ 18. Based on what you know about natural selection: Would it be the individuals that evolve, or would it be the population that evolves? Why? 19. Name three other changes (other than color) that could possibly occur within skittlefish that would be advantageous for their survival. Use your imagination and have fun with this! READ Natural selection typically works against the organism, eliminating the individuals that are not suited for the environment. For example, a population of pest insects frequently encounters pesticides in its environment. Most insects in the initial generation die, but if a few individuals have a genetic mutation for pesticide resistance, these few will survive and reproduce. Their offspring are more likely to be pesticide resistant. Within a few generations, the pesticide is less effective because most individuals are resistant. Another example: The peppered moth, Biston betularia, has two forms, a light and dark colored form. In the early 1800s, prior to the industrial revolution, the trunks of the trees in the forest around Manchester, England were white and light grayish-green due to the presence of lichens. The lighter moths typically blended better into their surroundings, whereas the darker moths stood out on the light-colored trees and were more quickly eaten. The light colored moths were therefore very common and the dark color were rare. After rapid industrialization, however, when coal-burning factory pollution and soot began darkening the trees, the dark moths blended better into their surroundings and they were now more likely to survive. The light colored moths were easily seen against the dark sooty trees. By 1895, 95 percent of the peppered moth were dark colored, and it was the light colored moths that were rare. Critical Thinking: 20. Using your knowledge of natural selection, explain the shift in color variation in the peppered moth. Does Natural selection work against the genotype or phenotype. Explain your answer thoroughly.
