Assume blue individuals only produce blue individuals and green individuals only produce green individuals. Does the following sequence of reproduction and survival events satisfy the definition of evolution? (Hint: Does the picture satisfy all three conditions needed for evolution to occur?)

Which of the following describe the three conditions that when found in nature they together promote natural selection to occur? (Choose 3) Offspring vary in characteristics, and variation is necessary. Characteristics are inherited from parents. More offspring are produced than are able to survive leading to competition. Individuals adapting to their environment.

Which conditions are necessary for natural selection? Check all that apply. Populations have genetic variation. The environment changes. The environment stays the same. Organisms must have specific traits in order to survive and reproduce. Organisms with any traits will survive and reproduce.

In a hypothetical species of butterfly, wing spots are controlled by a single locus where BB individuals have blue spots, YY individuals have yellow spots, and BY individuals have green spots. Ten years ago, a previous collector randomly collected 1000 butterflies and reported finding 90 blues, 420 greens, and 490 yellows. You collect 40 blues, 320 greens, and 640 yellows. Has there been evolution in this population? If yes, is natural selection involved? Explain and justify your answers.
