Imagine that you are studying the food preferences of a lizard species across its range. You have
hypothesized that because these populations are fairly separate from one another, the lizards have
evolved different food preferences. You discover that in the desert, the lizard seems to prefer various
types of flies, whereas at higher, wetter altitudes, it prefers one type of beetle. Does this observation
support your hypothesis?
No. First I need to determine whether the offspring of these lizards, raised in the laboratory under the
same conditions, will reflect the parental food preferences.
No. This cannot be determined without first sequencing and comparing the lizards' DNA.
Yes. The lizards obviously prefer different foods.
Yes. Not only do the lizards prefer different foods, but there is also evidence that the foods they prefer
are not necessarily the most abundant.
No. First, I must determine if both groups can b - No. First I need to determine whether the offspring of
these lizards, raised in the laboratory under the same conditions, will reflect the parental food
preferences.
