a.
True
b.
False
Meaningful evolution occurs when __________.

○ a heritable changed trait gives an organism a fitness advantage
○ a changed trait gives an organism a disadvantage
○ environmental factors change
A population of ducks had dull orange bills and an average size of 18 inches from bill to tail. Over time, some researches noticed that the average size of the ducks was still 18 inches, but that now many ducks were either much smaller or much larger and no ducks were actually 18 inches long. The researcher correctly identified that the ducks were undergoing ___A___ selection for size, The researcher also noticed that the bills were a much brighter orange in the ducks, and correctly identified ____B____ selection for bill colouration. A few years later, the researcher returned and noticed that only the male ducks now had bright orange bills and the females were less bright. The researcher hypothesized that ____C____ selection was occurring.
