Hypothesis For Natural Selection Lab
Lab title: Natural Selection Lab
Purpose:
* To understand natural selection and its effect on population. * Increase, decrease, survival and adaption
Hypothesis: If I have a pink/yellow environment then the pink/yellow organisms will tend to survive.
Ind. Variable: color of dots
Dep. Variable: how many dots survive
Constants: Environment, 6 colors/ amount of colors
Materials: Cloth color: Pink (dark, medium, lights) yellow, paper dots: pink, blue, yellow, brown, green, and peach. Procedure: Taking dots off a cloth to figure what color could adapt and survive better in the environment that it was placed in. We were given 40 seconds to pick the dots off the cloth, then after that 40 seconds record the results on how many of

    The finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands feed on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds, produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness, produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds, produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. The lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits-characteristics of an individual that are controlled by large numbers of genes. These traits are studied by looking at the statistical distribution of the trait in populations and investigating how the distribution changes from one generation to the next. For the finches in Evolution Lab, the depth of the beak is the quantitative trait. I investigated how this trait changes under different biological and environmental conditions.…

    Darwin's hypothesis of Natural Selection has three tenets: 1. There requirements to a hereditary variety among the populace 2. The quality must be passed on by hereditary means from parent to posterity and 3. There must be a "differential conceptive achievement" in view of people; while those with the attribute ought to replicate and have a superior possibility of making due than those without it. Every one of the three of these stipulations must be met with the goal of advancement to happen. A balancing out heading is the point of which it supports a decline in the attributes that are outrageous and not normal by the vast majority of the populace. A directional determination is a point at which the normal characteristic changes after some…

    Lab #2 focused on the predator prey concept. Charles Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest is what was tested in this experiment. Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest states that the animals that are able to adapt to their environment the best are the ones who will survive and pass on those adaptations to their children. Animals adapt for many different reasons some of them might be to help defend against a predator, to be able to retrieve food more efficiently, or just to help them live in a harsher environment. The animals that are able to adapt to their situation the best are the ones that will be able to live on and reproduce the ones that are unable to will die off. In order to test this theory we used 100 paper chips ten of ten different colors and two different pieces of cloth to simulate an environment. We put the chips on the pieces of fabric and then turned around so we were not facing the fabric so when we turned to face it we could pick the first one we saw and then turn back around. We did this three times for each fabric.…
