STEP 1 Gather your materials. You should have: . 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 spoon, and a length of tape (each will be used toestablish the distinct predator "feeding apparatuses")· 4 cups (each will serve as a distinct predator's "mouth")· 3 types of prey (such as popcorn, macaroni, and kidney beans)· 1 clearly delineated habitat (such as a table, a box, or a roped-off areaof ground). 1 timer that allows for counting by seconds (such as a watch or cellphone) STEP 2 Set up the predators. There is variation in predatory feeding apparatuses in this population. You will choose one of the available predator feeding apparatuses: fork, spoon, knife, or four fingers (with your thumb taped to your hand so that you cannot use it). You will also take a cup, which will represent the predator's mouth. Your goal will be to use your feeding apparatus to collect food and put it inyour mouth. STEP 3 Set up the…arrow_forward
- If two different organisms are closely related evolutionarily, then they will (a) be similar in size. (b) share a recent common ancestor. (c) have very different DNA sequences in their genes. (d) be randomly located throughout the world.arrow_forwardIdentify whether each of the statements is an Observation or a Hypothesis to explain an observation. 1) Golden toads laid their eggs in shallow pools of water between the roots of cloud forest trees. 2) Golden toad tadpoles lived in shallow pools of water on the cloud forest floor before developing into toadlets. 3) Over warm ocean water, clouds form higher in the atmosphere. 4) Golden toads had highly specialized reproductive habitat. 5) Golden toads were found only in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica. 6) The fossil record and current trends show that highly specialized species with small populations and narrow ranges are highly susceptible to extinction. 7) Spring 1987 was the driest spring on record for Monteverde. 8) All the golden toad tadpoles might have died during the spring of 1987 because their pools dried up before the young could lead a fully terrestrial life. 9) The drier conditions at Monteverde in 1987 might have been caused by…arrow_forwardWhich is the best possible hypothesis for explaining changes in cortical robusticity over time? a.) The decrease in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of modern humans was rapid and dramatic and resulted in more lightly constructed skeletons. b.) The increase in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of modern humans was gradual and resulted in larger brain size coupled with a greater ability to deal with predators l. c.) The decrease in cortical robusticity associated with the appearance of archaic Homo sapiens is a part of a long term trend beginning with australopithecines and ending with modern Homo sapiens. d.) None if these statements are an appropriate hypothesis for changes seen in cortical robusticity.arrow_forward

- Evidence suggest that feathers originally evolved for some function other than facilitating flight. This implies that (choose the best answer): a) Feathers are not currently an adaptation for flight. b) There was negative frequency dependent selection for feathers. c) Adaptations can evolve via the modification of pre-existing structures for a new function. d) Feathers arose via acclimatization. e) Natural selection anticipates future need and directs evolution accordingly.arrow_forwardDivision of human egg is a) Holoblastic and equal b) Holoblastic and unequal c) Isoblastic d) Meroblasticarrow_forwardThe branched structure of human lungs significantly increases the surface area for gas exchange.
