The diagram shows the colonization of an island habitat that has never been occupied by a particular species of beetle. Which statement regarding the diagram is true? the beetles on the island have higher rates of mutation due to their isolation and mutants always have a natural selective advantage
the beetles on the island have a greater amount of genetic variety than the original population of that species of beetle (stabilizing selection)
the one beetle that was introduced to the island is the common ancestor of all of the beetles of that species on the island showing founder effect (genetic drift)
the beetle species on the island shows a case of disruptive selection and increasing genetic diversity

Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of plants’ stems. which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment? a.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers. b.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet. c.one student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. the other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.

Ascientific idea becomes valid when it is what?
