Dutch elm disease is a fungal infection of elm
trees that usually results in death. The disease
has killed millions of North American elm trees
that were not resistant to the fungus. Scientists
have bred resistant elms by crossing North
American species with Asian species that show
resistance.Which of the following best
describes how natural selection would promote
resistant elm populations once the resistance
genes from the Asian species were successfully
introduced?

• After encountering elms with
• resistance genes, fungi would avoid
• elms and begin to attack other
• tree species

B. Resistance would spread to all of the mature
elms in a population from the few trees that
acquired the resistance genes.
C. Elm trees with resistance genes would
survive and pass on resistance to offspring,
while trees without resistance would more likely
be killed by the fungus.
D. By reproducing with each other, elm trees
with resistance genes would create
super-resistant elms with twice the number of
resistance genes.

The graph shows the results of experiments with
plant growth. Each day, sets of plants were
removed from the soil and dried. The cotyledons
were removed and their mass was measured. Then,
the mass of the remaining seedlings was measured.

the mass of the seedlings the same?
A. Day 2
B. Day 4
D. Day 6
C. Day 8

Foresters recently noticed an apparent drop in
the squirrel population in a nearby oak-hickory
forest. The squirrels eat acorns produced on the
oak trees hawks eat squirrels. The foresters are
not sure what is causing the decline in the
squirrel population but they are concerned that
both the squirrel and hawk populations will
disappear. How could they best find an answer
to their question
B. Conduct a decade long population study.

• Tag and track the hawks in
• the area.

D. Monitor the acorn production of the oak trees
for several seasons.
C. Use a computer simulation model of the
potential forest populations
