Question: Background: New species develop naturally through the process of natural selection . Due to natural selection, organisms with traits that better enable them to adapt to their environment will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers. Natural selection causes beneficial heritable traits to become more common in a population and unfavorable heritable traits to become less common. For example, a giraffe's neck is beneficial because it allows the giraffe to reach leaves high in trees. Natural selection caused this beneficial trait to become more common than short necks. Paragraph: A biologist was in Australia making observations about the local species when he identified two distinct groups of butterflies. He found that one group of butterflies, group A, blended in with the dark oak trees that were common in the area. Butterflies in the other group, group B, however did not blend in as well and could easily be spotted by predators whenever they landed on the oak trees. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Will the traits belonging to the group A butterflies become more common or less common over time?
Answer: more common

Question: Background: Since AM fungi are biotrophic, they are dependent on plants for the growth of their hyphal networks. Growing a cover crop extends the time for AM growth into the autumn, winter, and spring. Promotion of hyphal growth creates a more extensive hyphal network. The mycorrhizal colonization increase found in cover crops systems may be largely attributed to an increase in the extraradical hyphal network that can colonize the roots of the new crop (Boswell et al. 1998). The extraradical mycelia are able to survive the winter, providing rapid spring colonization and early season symbiosis (McGonigle and Miller 1999). This early symbiosis allows plants to tap into the well-established hyphal network and be supplied with adequate phosphorus nutrition during early growth, which greatly improves the crop yield. Paragraph: Two farms were testing new methods to increase production. Timber farm used AM fungi, while Pine farm used other conventional agricultural methods. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which farm didn't provide more time for AM fungi growth into the autumn?
Answer: Pine

Question: Background: Hypertension , which is also called "high blood pressure," occurs when a person's blood pressure is always high. Hypertension is said to be present when a person's systolic blood pressure is always 140 or higher, and/or if the person's diastolic blood pressure is always 90 or higher. Having hypertension increases a person's chance for developing heart disease, having a stroke, or suffering from other serious cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension often does not have any symptoms, so a person may not know that he or she has high blood pressure. For this reason, hypertension is often called the "silent killer." Treatments for hypertension include diet changes, exercise, and medication. Foods thought to lower blood pressure include skim milk, spinach, beans, bananas and dark chocolate. Paragraph: Tom and Jerry were two 50-year-olds which went to high-school together. They recently met and discussed their health problems over coffee. Tom had hypertension and the doc told him to change his diet. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which friend had to start drinking skim milk?
Answer:
Tom
