How did the original population that became two descendant species first become separated?
CFS:
  • student describes the relationship between anatomical similarities and differences in animal species
  • student describes the environmental changes that cause traits to become adaptive over time

0

One of the populations that was separated had structures that changed over time. Describe the changes that happened and why they happened?
CFS:
  • student describes the relationship between anatomical similarities and differences in animal species
  • student describes the environmental changes that cause traits to become adaptive over time

Why did the other population in the article stay mostly the same (stable)?
CFS:
  • student describes the relationship between anatomical similarities and differences in animal species
  • student describes the environmental changes that cause traits to become adaptive over time

Simulation:

A common ancestor population of ostrilopes was split into two different environments:
  • Environment A
  • Environment B.
Model one of these environments in the Natural Selection Simulation, and you will both compare the descendant species that come from these two populations. First, predict whether each ostrilope population will change, and if so, how it will change.

Predict the population in Environment A, which changed to have some tall Thornpalms (trees).


Do you think the population in Environment A will remain stable or change over time if thornpalms are taller?

0

The changes over time in neck length are in part due to:

0

What evidence do you have to support why taller neck lengths become more common?

0

What happened to the original neck length trait? What caused this change?

0

Predict Environment B, which changed to have some Thornpalms with large thorns.


Do you think the population in Environment B will remain stable or change over time if thornpalms are have larger thorns?

The changes over time in neck length are in part due to:

0

What evidence do you have to support why stronger jaw strength becomes more common?

0

What happened to the original jaw strength trait? What caused this change?
