Modeling of Evolution Quick Check
1. Why are hooves more advantageous for horses in the modern era?
*Hooves are better equipped for environments with plains.
2. Imagine a major volcanic eruption has dramatically changed the environment on an island such that the average temperature and available sunlight are much lower. Of the following species present on that island, which species is most likely to adapt and evolve to this change instead of going extinct?
*an insect species with a high reproduction rates and a significant mutation rate
3. Of the four factors that affect the evolution of species, which factor is driven by random events?
*Genetic variation
4. Which factor will most likely guarantee evolution rather than extinction?
*higher reproduction rates
5. If climate change shifted environmental conditions back to the those of the very earliest horse, Eohippus, how might the remaining wild horses in Europe and North America change over the ensuing millennia?
*The structure of their feet would likely change to include more digits.
You don't have to believe me but these are all correct as of March 22 2022
ALL CORRECT
Mine added a new question at the beginning:
"In order for a trait to be considered a competitive advantage, the trait must be....."
Answer: "Allow the individual to survive better and reproduce more in that environment."
The rest of the questions are the same, 2-5, as sup's, 1-4.
