Evolution Lab: Trait Heritability & Natural Selection

This document outlines an experiment to study natural selection. It involves measuring traits in plant and animal species, tracking the initial and final counts of organisms with different colors in different environments, and calculating values like final prey caught, survived, and expected to analyze how natural selection acts on the populations. The goal is to observe how heritable traits influence organisms' ability to survive and reproduce based on environmental pressures.

FPC -- Final Prey Caught


FPS -- Final Prey Survived = 100-FPC
FP -- Final Proportion = individual FPS/total FPS
EPS -- Expected Prey Survived = total
X=(FPS-EPS)²/EPS
Chi Square Value = the sum of the three values of X (one for each color)
