Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?

Next pretest: evolution select the correct answer in a laboratory population of flies, the female flies are gray and the males are yellowish gray. biologists observed that all the male flies had an equal chance for reproduction, but the male flies with the brightest colors were more likely to successfully reproduce. what phenomenon could explain such a change? a sexual selection b. disruptive selection c. stabilizing selection d. directional selection

Organisms are classified, or grouped into categories, based on similarities in their characteristics and/or evolutionary relationships. the study of how organisms are classified is known as
