2.Guppies are small fish that live in fresh
water. Most guppy species reproduce sexually, but
some reproduce asexually. There are two lakes in
a particular region. One lake contains a species
of guppy that reproduces asexually. The other
lake contains a species of guppy that reproduces
sexually. A scientist studying these lakes
predicts that the sexually reproducing guppies
would survive better than the asexually
reproducing guppies if a fungus was introduced to
both lakes. Which statement supports this
hypothesis?

• The sexually reproducing guppies are identical to
  one another.
• B. The sexually reproducing guppies have a
  variation of inherited characteristics.
• C. The sexually reproducing guppies require only
  one individual for reproduction.
• D. The sexually reproducing guppies are carriers
  of harmful characteristics

The answer is B.

• A. by graphing data that the other class
  collected
• B. by drawing conclusions from the other classs
  data
• C. by repeating the experiment with the same
