Dr. Alex Young would like to know about your progress in solving the mystery about the rough-skinned newts. In the space below, answer the Chapter 1 Question: What caused this newt population to become more poisonous?

Use what you have learned so far to consider these claims:

Claim 1: Individual newts became more poisonous because they wanted to.
Claim 2: The newt population became more poisonous because of something in the environment.
Revised Claim 2: The newt population became more poisonous because the snakes in this environment caused poison to be an adaptive trait

Choose one or more claims to support with evidence and reasoning. You may also want to explain why one or more of the claims is definitely not correct.

Be sure to use some of the vocabulary words you have learned so far:

adaptive trait
distribution
environment
non-adaptive trait
population
trait
variation

Answer: whoaw guy this is a lot of work

1. The newt population became more poisonous because the snakes in this environment caused poison to be an adaptive trait.

The newts in this context, the more toxic in the new population, did not make the newts more poisonous because they can't control how poisonous their characteristics are. Since the new population has a high variation in the poisonous traits, when newts is introduced to snakes it will most likely be inexistent or less common, as the distribution of features shifts to high levels of poison, adaptive traits, low levels of poisons, non-adaptive traits, and medium levels of poison. This is important because when snakes enter the context of this new population, they become predatory to the newts and eat the newts, causing the distribution of features to become more frequent so that newts with adaptive features of more Poison can live longer and reproduce more, while newts with non-adaptive features of less poison become less prevalent and can not live much.

Explanation:

I tried to use the vocab

The newt population become more poisonous because the snakes in this environment caused poison to be an adaptive trait.

An adaptive trait may be defined as a feature produced by DNA or the interaction of the epigenome with the environment. It facilitates the survival and reproduction of organisms in the environment.

The newt population refers to the toxic or poisonous compounds found in the environment. They are inherited from organisms, by nature, and other activities. But here, the newt population is derived from the adaptive trait of the snake which is poisonous. If the conditions get reversed, such that the variations lead to the non-adaptive trait being poisonous, it may not produce a newt population. The distribution of adaptive traits depends on the environment and the behavior of the population.

Therefore, the newt population becomes more poisonous because the snakes in this environment caused poison to be an adaptive trait.
