Genome maps provide the DNA sequences of chromosomes. Some scientists have compared the genome maps of a hedgehog and a sloth. What do these genome maps allow the scientists to determine?
individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce
Have a common understanding in the classification of organisms
how closely related the two species are to each other
the frequency of the genes in the population
an inherited variation
Genus
an ant that is resistant to pesticide
individuals with adaptive traits are likely to survive and pass their traits on to their of their offspring
Some organisms have genes that improve their ability to survive and reproduce. If the genes also help their offspring survive and reproduce, then which of the following will most likely increase?
individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce
Have a common understanding in the classification of organisms
how closely related the two species are to each other
the frequency of the genes in the population
an inherited variation
Genus
an ant that is resistant to pesticide
individuals with adaptive traits are likely to survive and pass their traits on to their of their offspring
Having a standard taxonomic system benefits the scientific community by allowing scientists from all over the world to do which of the following?
individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce
Have a common understanding in the classification of organisms
how closely related the two species are to each other
the frequency of the genes in the population
an inherited variation
Genus

A large population of cockroaches was sprayed with an insecticide. A few of the cockroaches survived and produced a population of cockroaches that was resistant to this spray. What can best be inferred from this example?
individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce
Have a common understanding in the classification of organisms
how closely related the two species are to each other
the frequency of the genes in the population
an inherited variation
Genus
an ant that is resistant to pesticide
individuals with adaptive traits are likely to survive and pass their traits on to their of their offspring
The Linnaean taxonomic system classifies organisms into divisions called taxa. If two organisms belong to the same taxonomic group, they are related. Similarity at which of these levels indicates the closest relationship?
individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce
Have a common understanding in the classification of organisms
how closely related the two species are to each other
the frequency of the genes in the population
an inherited variation
Genus
an ant that is resistant to pesticide
individuals with adaptive traits are likely to survive and pass their traits on to their of their offspring
Genetic variation can aid in the survival of species when the environment changes. Which of the following is the best example of an organism with a genetic variation that could improve survival chances over time?

Genus
an ant that is resistant to pesticide
individuals with adaptive traits are likely to survive and pass their traits on to their of their offspring
