Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.100 Selection Simulations skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

In a selection model with insects, students change the background from leafy branch to a different habitat. The trait that is easiest to see changes.

What does this show about natural selection models?

Aa trait that is helpful in one habitat is always helpful everywhere.

Bthe model shows that predators choose randomly and never affect populations.

Cthe background color is an allele that directly rewrites all organisms' DNA.

Dwhich trait is helpful can depend on the environment.

Solution & Explanation:Selection depends on how traits interact with the environment, such as camouflage against a background.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Students repeat a selection simulation with plants in shady garden. In most trials, broad leaves collect more light.

Why is repeating the simulation useful?

ADoing more runs guarantees identical data.

BRepeated trials make recorded evidence unnecessary.

CRepeating the test gives stronger evidence about whether the pattern holds.

DThe model becomes real life only after enough repeats.

Solution & Explanation:Repeated trials make a model more reliable by showing whether a trend appears again and again.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A group uses a classroom model with paper crabs to study selection in pebble beach. They want the model to be fair.

Which rule would improve the simulation?

Alet one trait start with many more organisms every time without noting it.

BKeep the starting counts and search time constant across trials.

CChange the habitat partway through each run to force a clearer result.

DRecord matching trials and discard the rest.

Solution & Explanation:A fair simulation controls starting conditions and records all results so comparisons are meaningful.
