False
- 3. Multiple Choice
What is most likely to happen to moth populations in the picture shown?
Light moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Dark moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Light moths--hunted easily, light moths--population increase

- 7. Multiple ChoiceWhere the better adapted organisms survive to pass traits along to offspring.EvolutionNatural SelectionExtinctionArtifical Selection
- 8. Multiple ChoiceWhy are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.Because they come from dominant alleles.Because they come from recessive alleles.Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.
