at the beginning of day 1, there were one hundred of each color bean. twenty of the dark red beans and thirty-five of the light red beans were eaten. what effect will this have on the population of the beans? check all that apply
there will be more dark red kidney bean survivors.
there will be fewer light red kidney bean survivors.
there will be more light red kidney bean offspring the next morning.
there will be more dark red kidney bean offspring the next morning.
there will be an even number of light red and dark red kidney bean offspring produced that night.

Explanation:

1. Calculate survivors: Start with 100 dark red beans; 20 eaten means $100-20=80$ survivors. Start with 100 light red beans; 35 eaten means $100-35=65$ survivors. So there are more dark red survivors, and fewer light red survivors.
2. Offspring is determined by the number of surviving beans. More surviving dark red beans will lead to more dark red offspring, while fewer surviving light red beans lead to fewer light red offspring. An even number of offspring is not supported by the given data.

Answer:

• There will be more dark red kidney bean survivors.
• There will be fewer light red kidney bean survivors.
• There will be more dark red kidney bean offspring the next morning.
