Yes, the make-up of the prey population changed over time from one generation to the next What correlations, if any, can you see between the characteristics of the individuals that successfully survived and reproduced and the habitat in which they lived? With the garbanzo beans they blended very well with the granite, so it made their chances at survival greater than all the other beans that had brighter colors. We said earlier that this simulation would model the effect of selection on a population of prey organisms. What was the selective force in this experiment? Was selection effective in bringing about change in the make-up of the prey population? What factors do you think determined how effective selection was? The selective force was the granite color. Yes, the selection was effective in bringing about change in the make-up of the prey population. The color of the beans and size, example kidney beans were bright red and Garbanzo beans were like a tan greyish color that blended with the granite which made their survival much higher than the kidney beans they were a dark red and larger in size. Based on the results your simulation, can you think of two different strategies a population of prey organisms could take to maximize their chances of surviving and successfully reproducing? 1. Only picking a certain amount of each bean 2. Putting the beans in a bag
