Hunger Games Lab

1. This lab showed natural selection. In this lab, we ran feeding tests to find the organism with the best traits. This lab stimulated how each organism responds differently to its environment.
2. The best type were knucklers because they were able to capture more food.
3. The population did evolve because knucklers grew in number while stumpies started to die off.
4. The environmental changes and placements of the food were random, but the traits that spred over time were not random. The population evolved depending on which traits were better suited to the random environmental changes.
5. The results would be different depending on the size of the food. For instance, if a lynx had little food but hares had lots, the hares would thrive a lot more for one generation because they would have more food and less predators.
6. If there was not incomplete dominance, then certain traits would not have survived at all.
7. Natural selection leads to evolution.
8. People started to cheat or use their hoodies to capture more food. The people who used strategies would have probably gotten more food than the people who did not, thus future populations would look more like the strategic people's organisms.
9. In evolution, POPULATIONS are what evolves. Natural selection acts on gphnotypes, because the best organisms with the best survival and reproductive phenotypes are the phenotypes which are passed down.
10. Can a strategic mindset be hereditary and be part of natural selection?
