Questions
1. What role does genetics play in the variation seen in this leafhopper population?
Different forms of genes in leafhopper population provides the variety of characteristic seen.
2. Note the results from the 20th generation under global warming conditions. Before continuing with the 30th generation, predict the population composition of the 30th generation. One would accept a loss of lighter color and larger leafhopper leading to a population predominated by darker smaller leafhopper.
3. What happened to the proportion of each type of leafhopper in subsequent generations under global warming conditions? Suggest a reason why the traits of the 30th generation make this population better adapted to its altered environment. There were fewer orange and large leafhoppers and more small
