Question

Match each scenario with the type or mode of selection that fits best. Answers can be used more than once. Group of answer choices

1.A population of Madagascar hissing cockroaches lives in a woodpile. It suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults. What type of selection do the lizards impose on the roaches?

2.Indian paintbrush flowers vary from dark to light red in color. Bumblebees form a search image for flowers that have medium (average) red coloration, and preferentially pollinate those flowers.

3.A beetle species is introduced to an island covered with dark basaltic rock. The beetles range in coloration from dark brown to a very light brown. On this dark background, darker beetles are much more resistant to predation than are lighter-colored beetle. The dark beetles have a large selective advantage. All phenotype are relatively common in the group of beetles released on the new island.

4.In a species of bird, individuals with genotype MM are susceptible to avian malaria, Mm birds are resistant to avian malaria, and the mm birds are resistant to avian malaria, but the mm birds are also vulnerable to avian pox.
