The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the term ADAPTIVE RADIATION. African cichlids are a group of closely related fish species. There are at least 500 known species living in three small lakes. Over time, specialized teeth and body colorations have evolved for each species in response to mutations and competition for food and mates. This change over time is an example of ADAPTIVE RADIATION. Adaptive radiation by definition, is <span>the diversification of a group of organisms into forms filling different ecological niches.</span>
Cloning will not lead to designer babies because clones are a complete copy of the person being cloned. The clone would need to be genetically modified to be considered designer

Overfishing occurs when more fish are removed from an ecosystem than can be maintained by the population,
Overfishing can lead to significant population declines in economically important species. The passage describes
additional impacts of overfishing on populations.

According to the passage, which mechanism explains the observed changes in fish size over time?
A. Smaller fish produce fewer eggs than larger fish do, so they contribute fewer offspring to the next
generation.
B. Fish that are small enough to escape fishing nets are more likely to survive than larger fish.
C. Scientists found that Atlantic silversides exhibited changes in feeding and foraging rates after four
generations of selection,
D. The average size of pink salmon returning to spawn decreased from 6.0 pounds to approximately 4.5
pounds.
Some common adaptation in organisms would be:
Behavioral adaptation.
Biological adaptation.
Natural selection.
If the father had the gene BB (purebred & not carrying colourblind allele), then the answer will be a). All of their children will have normal vision with half of them carrying the colourblind allele.
If the father had the gene Bb (hydrid & carrying colourblind allele), then the answer will be d). 3/4 of their children would have normal vision whilst the last quarter would have colourblind males. This is due to them having to receive one colourblind allele from their mother on the X chromosome & one colourblind allele from their father on the Y chromosome.
