C. Ability to attract different mates

4. A certain characteristic such as color of fur may help an individual organism survive and reproduce. The characteristic is then inherited by its offspring. Over time the characteristics of this kind of organism in the population change. What is the scientific name for this process?

A. Natural selection
B. Petrification
C. Selective genetics
D. Uniformitarianism

5. A farmer wanted to find out if the number of plants per field would impact the final number of plants that survived in a field. Fields A, B, and C were the same size with the same type of soil. They also received the same amount of light and water.
Number of plants at the beginning of the season Number of plants at the end of the season
Field A 500 450
Field B 750 600
Field C 1,000 300

What is a possible explanation for the decrease in the final number of plants in Field C?

A. Only plants with specific traits survived.
B. Plants with deeper roots received more water.
C. Plants whose seeds were carried by wind survived.
D. Too many plants in a small area competed for nutrients.



6. A forest ecosystem contains many small mammals such as chipmunks and mice that live in the brown leaves on the forest floor. Imagine that a population of white mice was introduced into the forest environment. Why would there be no white mice found in the forest one year later?
A. The mice could not find water.
B. The mice could not find shelter.
C. The mice could not find and store food.
D. The mice could not hide from predators.


7. Bacteria are microscopic organisms that reproduce rapidly and often cause disease. Antibiotics are drugs given to people to cure bacteria-caused diseases. Since the 1950s, scientists have observed that antibiotics cannot kill many kinds of bacteria. What best explains the reason why antibiotics are less effective now?

A. People today do not take antibiotics as directed by doctors.
B. Antibiotics used today are weaker drugs than those used in the past.
C. The genes of some kinds of bacteria make them resistant to antibiotics.
D. Doctors have increased the testing of patients for diseases caused by bacteria.

A. Being able to eat many kinds of food
B. Being able to run very fast
C. Having wider stripes
D. Having shorter legs
9. The golden toad was a small, shiny toad that was abundant in a tropical rain forest in Costa Rica. The toads laid eggs in small pools of water. When the tadpoles hatched, they swam in the water until they became adult toads. Between 1987 and 1989 a dramatic drop in rainfall occurred in the area. Not a single toad has been seen since 1989.
What is the most likely reason that the golden toad is now believed to be extinct?

A. Predators ate all the toads.
B. The toads could not find mates.
C. The toads moved to another area.
D. Lack of rain interrupted the life cycle of the toads.


10. Crickets living in caves eat fungi and often only one type of insect. Which of the following would most likely result in the cricket becoming extinct over a long period of time?

A. The cricket produces many offspring with unique traits and changes its diet.
B. The cricket produces few offspring with no new traits and changes its diet.
C. The cricket produces many offspring with unique traits and does not change its diet.
D. The cricket produces few offspring with no new traits and does not change its diet.

What is mechanical weathering
Aleksandr [31]

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones. This process usually happens near the surface of the planet. Temperature also affects the land. The cool nights and hot days always cause things to expand and contract. That movement can cause rocks to crack and break apart.

Which of the layers listed below is not defined as a layer by composition? Select one: a. Lithosphere b. Crust c. Core O d. Mant
Hitman42 [59]

1. a. Lithosphere

If we divide the Earth into layers by their composition, then there are three of them, the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the thinnest layer, being on the top, and being solid. The mantle is the second layer, lying between the crust and the core. It is a layer where the temperature and pressure are higher, and the rocks are hot and slow-moving. The core is the bottom layer, in the center of the planet. It is the hottest and has the highest pressure, being the densest of the layers and is composed mostly of iron and in lesser percentage of nickel.

2. b. Crust

The Earth is divided into several layers depending on the layers being solid or liquid. There are five different physical layers, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. The lithosphere and the inner core are the two layers that are solid, thus the layer on top and the layer in the center. The asthenosphere, mesosphere, and outer core are all liquid, though it is a different degree of liquidity, and it is these three layers where the convection currents occur and cause the magnetic field of the Earth, as well as the tectonic movements.
