They produced spores.
They made their own food.
They reproduced asexually.

Giraffe necks varied in length, and all offspring had an equal chance of survival.
Giraffe necks varied in length, and the shorter-necked giraffes were at a disadvantage.
Giraffes with short necks migrated to locations best suited for their neck lengths.
Giraffes stretched their necks to reach for food, and resulting offspring had longer necks.
Rate this question:
Smaller horses bred with larger horses, creating hybrids.
Smaller horses were infected by a fatal virus early in their history.
Larger horses consumed the food supply of the smaller horses.
Larger horses produced a slightly greater number of surviving offspring.

Two short-haired cats produce a litter of 4 kittens including 1 long-haired and 3 shot-haired.
A color-blind man and a woman with normal vision produce a son with normal vision and a color-blind daughter.
A tall prurple-flowered pea plant and a short white-flowered pea plant are crossed, producing offspring including tall white-flowered pea plants.
A red-flowered snapdragon and a white-flowered snapdragon are crossed, producing offspring with pink flowers.

Rate this question:
Centromeres of replicated chromosomes line up along the cell’s equator.
Centromeres divide as sister chromatids move toward opposite poles of the cell.
Homologous chromosome pairs line up along the cell’s equator.
Homologous chromosomes move toward opposite poles of the cell.

Rate this question:
A few cockroaches exhibited pesticide resistance due to natural variability within the population.
A few cockroaches developed pesticide resistance through contact with other resistant insects.
A few cockroaches developed pesticide resistance after contact with it.
A few cockroaches detected the pesticide and avoided sprayed areas.
Rate this question:
1 species: Fish A, B, and C are all members of a single species
2 species: Fish A and B are a single species; Fish C is a separate species
2 species: Fish A and C are a single species; Fish B is a separate species
3 species: Fish A, B, and C are all members of separate species
Rate this question:
Chromosome number is reduced during telophase I so gametes have half the standard number of chromosomes.
The arrangement of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I varies from cell to cell.
Centromeres break apart during anaphase II so that sister chromatids can move to opposite poles of the cell.
DNA is replicated during interphase before before chromosomes condense and become attached to kinetochores.
Rate this question:
Enzymes degrade unnecessary DNA.
Methylation of some regions of DNA prevents transcription.
Mutations change certain RNA sequences.
Removal of exons from RNA prevents translation into protein.
