A. Aa x Aa
B. AA x aa
C. Aa x AA
D. aa x aa

C. Diaphragm
D. Bronchi
Question 7
A species of bird has a beak shape that is well-suited for cracking open nuts. What is an example of this adaptation?
A. Natural selection
B. Genetic drift
C. Gene flow
D. Genetic variation

A. Fixing CO2 into a 3-carbon molecule
B. Converting RuBP into 2 PGA molecules
C. Regenerating RuBP from 3 PGA molecules
D. Reducing NADP+ to NADPH
