The graph shown here is from a natural selection lab in which students "hunt" for candy in different simulated environments.  Examine the graph and answer the questions below it. Approximately how many of each candy species were present in generation 1 (round to the nearest 10)?   Which candy species was the least able to hide from the predators in Generation 3? Which candy species had the best survival rate throughout the first four generations of the simulation? Does this data support the hypothesis that Snikers were the most fit for the simulated environment? Please answer yes or no

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
