Pretend you are a scientist observing three different varieties of a single bird species that are part of the same population. In three to five sentences, describe what genetic variations exist in your population. Then, using reasoning skills and mock evidence from your observations, describe the impact these traits have on the birds' relationships with their environment and predators. (4 points)

Pretend you are a biologist analyzing mutations occurring in the DNA of an endangered species. In three to five sentences, describe what changes you are analyzing in an animal and how they are impacting its survival (either positively or negatively). Explain how you would determine that the mutations were new mutations rather than solidified traits. Additionally, describe how biologists might use this analysis to promote the survival of the species.

In 6-8 complete sentences, tell me a story about how two species of bird evolved from a common ancestor due to allopatric speciation. In your answer, describe how the two species become reproductively isolated. Also describe how the two population became different once they were separated (explain an evolutionary force that would make two populations more different – be specific).
