Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Nonrandom Mating If individuals nonrandomly mate with their peers, the result can be a changing population. There are many reasons nonrandom mating occurs. One reason is simple mate choice; for example, female peahens may prefer peacocks with bigger, brighter tails. Traits that lead to more matings for an individual become selected for by natural selection. One common form of mate choice, called assortative mating, is an individual’s preference to mate with partners who are phenotypically similar to themselves. Another cause of nonrandom mating is physical location. This is especially true in large populations spread over large geographic distances where not all individuals will have equal access to one another. Some might be miles apart through woods or over rough terrain, while others might live immediately nearby.   Q: One common form of mate choice, called assortative mating, is an individual’s preference to mate with partners who are what?   A:
OPTIONS:
- close to themselves
- different from themselves
- far away from
- similar to themselves

Answer: similar to themselves

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between substances. Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of moving particles of matter, measured by their temperature. Thermal energy always moves from matter with greater thermal energy to matter with less thermal energy, so it moves from warmer to cooler substances. You can see this in the Figure below . Faster-moving particles of the warmer substance bump into and transfer some of their energy to slower-moving particles of the cooler substance. Thermal energy is transferred in this way until both substances have the same thermal energy and temperature. For a visual introduction to these concepts, watch the animation “Temperature vs. Heat” at this URL:.   Q: Kinetic energy of moving particles of matter, measured by their temperatures are known as:   A:
OPTIONS:
- visible energy
- atmospheric energy
- solar energy
- thermal energy
Answer: thermal energy
