Question asked by Filo student

White-tailed deer (found by scientific studies): 2 males and 4 females produce 160 offspring in 6 years. In other words, 100 years ago the population across N.E. USA was less than half a million, today it is over 200 million. If a deer herd becomes too large, should the government pay hunters to reduce the size? THINKING SCIENTIFICALLY: In essay format (up to one-two pages), your assignment for the week is THEME-BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM- WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A POPULATION GROWS TOO LARGE?

B. Some of the light-colored crabs will try to change their body color to be lighter and pass on those traits to their offspring. C. Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that do not allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits. D. Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits.
