Use the scenario to answer the question. One variable increases, then the other increases, as well.

Which term would best describe this scenario?

1.hypothesis

2.causation

3.transitional form

4.positive correlation

Hemoglobin is the compound in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body. the distribution of hemoglobin in women in g/dl of blood is approximately normally distributed with mean 14 and standard deviation 1. too little hemoglobin, and you're anemic. 2. too much, and (unless you live at high altitudes), you can have other problems.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

In general, characteristics that an organism survive and reproduce become more common over time. what mechanism of evolution causes this?
