Which of the following best describes what occurred during the periods indicated by the arrows?

The degrees of relatedness in several native populations of prairie chickens in Marion and Jasper Counties in Illinois were determined. The degree of relatedness is inversely proportional to genetic diversity; that is, populations with a high degree of relatedness have less genetic diversity. Table 1 shows the collected data. Populations J1 through J5 are located in Jasper County. Populations M1 through M5 are located in Marion County. Numbers above 0.125 indicate a high degree of relatedness.

Scientists claim that some of the populations in Marion County are at an increased risk of decline or extinction. Based on the data in table 1, which of the following best provides evidence to support this claim?

Which of the following best explains the phenotypic pattern in the moths over time?

Which of the following best explains the phenotypic pattern in the moths over time? The increased air pollution of the nineteenth century due to the use of coal led to a darkening of surfaces from soot. The darker backgrounds conferred a selective advantage to the black variety, as described by natural selection.

Which of the following best describes the processes occurring between the mouse population and their environment?

Which of the following best describes the processes occurring between the mouse populations and their environments? Natural selection favors the mice with the dark coat color, causing the mice in all of the populations to be better adapted.

Which of the following best describes the importance of the number of amino acid differences indicated in Table 1?

Which of the following best describes the importance of the number of amino acid differences indicated in Table 1 ? They reflect the number of base pair changes in the DNA.

Which of the following best describes the process responsible for the change in the percent of Tuskless female elephants in the Gorongosa National Park population?

Which of the following best describes the process responsible for the change in the percent of tuskless female elephants in the Gorongosa National Park population shown in Figure 1 ? Human hunting of elephants with tusks between 1977 and 1992.
