Question 9
A. This is the correct answer because the rabbits with longer feet having more
offspring would mean they would dominate the population over time.
B. This is incorrect because if the rabbits with shorter feet lived longer then they
wouldn’t have grown longer feet over time
C. This is incorrect because if the rabbits with shorter feet had more offspring
than the rabbit population would have smaller feet over time
D. This is incorrect because the rabbits with longer feet living longer would not be
a large enough time gap to reflect in the rock layers.

Why I got it wrong: I did not properly evaluate which option would be reflected in
the rock layers
Question 11
A. This is incorrect because this does not demonstrate how all organisms are
related to each other
B. This is incorrect because this has no relation to evolution
C. This is incorrect because this does not demonstrate how all organisms are
related to each other
D. This is correct because it shows an early development in many organisms
that have adapted differently that proves they are distantly related

Why I got it wrong: I had mixed up The Theory of Evolution with just evolution or
adaptations.
Question 14
A. This is the correct answer because the color of the moths is for camouflage,
so if the moths have more reason to camouflage as black they will.
B. This is incorrect because an explosion in the population of the plants that
they eat might increase the population of both types of moth, it would not affect
only one
C. This is incorrect because this would not affect the population of only one type
of moth
D. This is incorrect because this would not affect the population of only one type
of moth

Reason why I got it wrong: accidentally clicked the wrong thing
Question 17
A. This is incorrect because a subduction zone is formed when two plates
collide and one is pushed under another
B. This is incorrect because tectonic plates spread apart at mid ocean ridges
C. This is incorrect because tectonic plates do not move away based on
anything to do with the equator
D. This is correct because tectonic plates do move because of convection
currents and radioactivity in the mantle
