Question

Choose one for each of the following A.adapations are usually compromises B. Evolution is limited by historical constraints C. Natural selection interacts with chance/random events and the environment D. Selections can only act on existing variation in a population 1.) Hunting has decreased in population size of elephant seals , decreasing potential for natural selection due to extremely low genetic diversity . 2.)Penguins have modified wings to use for swimming 3.) The male peacock has bright feathers to attract females, however these characteristics make them more visable to predators 4.) Introduced species can change which characteristics are advantageous for a population

Explanation / Answer

1) Hunting has decreased in population size of elephant seals , decreasing potential for natural selection due to extremely low genetic diversity: C. Natural selection interacts with chance/random events and the environment

2) Penguins have modified wings to use for swimming: B. Evolution is limited by historical constraints

3.) The male peacock has bright feathers to attract females, however these characteristics make them more visable to predators: A.adapations are usually compromises

4.) Introduced species can change which characteristics are advantageous for a population: D. Selections can only act on existing variation in a population
