Conclusion Questions
Answer the questions below in full sentences, at least 10 words long. Please remember
to write using proper grammar and spelling.
1. Based off the evidence that you collected yesterday, how do you think this
trait may have arose? Choose one of the following options that we went over
in class and defend your reasoning.
2. Based on the human populations of Vancouver and Hazelton, account for the
populations of Kermode Bears in each of these areas? What factors cause
the population sizes of Kermode Bears in each city?
(use the compare and contrast worksheets)
3. Please list some of the advantages and disadvantages of the Kermodism
recessive gene? Also, consider what defines a recessive trait.
Sentence frame: “An advantage of being a Kermode bear is ____ because of
____.”
