I will report your answer if you don't answer this seriously and just want points answer wisely Natural Selection in Populations
This activity will help you meet these educational goals:

You will use mathematical representations of phenomena to describe and support claims and explanations.
You will analyze data using tools and models in order to make valid and reliable scientific claims.
You will apply concepts of statistics to scientific questions and problems, using digital tools when feasible.
Directions
Read the instructions for this self-checked activity. Type in your response to each question, and check your answers. At the end of the activity, write a brief evaluation of your work.
Activity
In this activity, you’ll analyze and interpret data about a population. A scientist has been monitoring the height of a small population of wild sheep for 30 years. He monitored 200 adult male sheep from each year, and then broke down their height into ranges. Study the data in the chart, and then answer the questions that follow.

Height Less than 1 m 1 m – 1.19 m 1.2 m – 1.4 m Greater than
1.4 m
30 Years Ago 45 110 40 5
Present Data 15 84 75 26

Part A
Question
Using the data in the table, make a bar graph that shows the distribution of height for the sheep both 30 years ago and today.

Part B
The researcher thinks the changes in data are a result of selection. Do you think directional, disruptive, or stabilizing selection is occurring? How does your data support this conclusion?

Part C
What percentage of sheep had a body height of 1.2 meters or more 30 years ago? How does it differ from the present data? Does this data support your argument regarding the type of selection occurring?

Part D
The researcher also collected height data from 200 female sheep during both years but didn’t notice a significant difference in height. What could this data suggest?

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)â€”two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
