Answer:

The large eyed ducks had an undesirable trait, but the small eyed ducks have a desirable trait. Because the large eyed ducks had a trait that decreases their chances of survival, they wete killed. But small eyed ducks are lucky because they have a trait that increases their chance of survival. The small eyed ducks reproduce more offspring that have small eyes, but the large eyed ducks cannot because they didn't survive. This causes that the allele for large eyes in the gene pool to decrease.

Why were slaves important to the colonial economy? Hint: discuss economic interdependence found in the lesson Answer:
bekas [8.4K]

There are many reasons to why slaves were essential in the colonial economy:

Slaves were generally used more in the south, because large plantations were found there, which meant that the need for large amounts of workers.

Slaves provided cheap labors, and as they were not "citizens" of the US, they were not allowed their rights.

Slaves were also relatively easy to buy and replace, however, their survival rates were not that good after they traveled long distance.

etc.

hope this helps
