SHORT ANSWER QUESTION: Include a Claim, Evidence, Explanation, and Conclusion for full credit. Rubric is include at top of quiz.

In the past, fifty percent of jaguars in the Amazon jungle had large strong jaws and fifty percent had weak jaws. There was a change in their environment leaving only hard-shelled reptiles like turtles available for the jaguars to eat. Below is a graph showing the allele frequency in the population of jaguars over the next 5 generations.

Construct an argument based on evidence to determine which allele represents the large strong jaws and which allele represents the weak jaws.

Answer:

Allele G represents the strong jaw, and allele g represents the weak jaw. This is because as the generations go by, allele G’s population increases, but allele g’s population decreases. If hard shelled animals are the only foods available to them, you would need a strong jaw to eat them. This means that allele g wouldn’t be able to eat these reptiles, so their population would decrease from lack of food.
