California’s San Andres fault is known for its earthquakes. The Pacific plate and North American plate are sliding against each other at this example of a strike-slip fault boundary.

Strike-slip faults are the vertical or nearly vertical fractures that occur where the blocks have mostly moved horizontally over each other. If the block opposite an observer, then the fault moves to the right, the slip style is termed right-lateral in this case and if the block moves to the left, the motion is termed left-lateral motion of the block.

The cause of the strike-slip fault earthquakes is due to the movement of the two plates which are against one another and the release of built up strain from these plates. As the larger plates are pushed or pulled in different directions they build up the strain against adjacent plates until it finally fails. The Pacific plate and North American plate sliding against each other is an example of strike-slip fault.

A few years ago the population of male blue moon butterflies on the island of Samoa declined. One hypothesis for the decline of the male butterflies is that a parasite infected the cells of female butterflies. The parasite was passed to offspring through the females’ eggs and killed the male butterfly embryos. At one point during the decline, nearly all the butterflies in the population were females, but after five years the number of males in the population increased significantly.



Which explanation most likely accounts for the increase in the number of male butterflies in the five years after the initial parasite problem?

Male butterflies in the population that survived were able to prey on the parasites living in the females’ egg cells.

Female butterflies in the population that survived had a genetic adaptation that allowed them to transform into male butterflies.

Male butterflies in the population that survived had a gene that made them resistant to the parasite, and they passed the gene on to their offspring.

Female butterflies in the population that survived were able to protect the male eggs from the parasite and provide extra care for the male offspring.
