What adaptive benefit do the three middle ear bones afford mammals?
A) These bones helped to improve chewing, allow ancient mammals to diversify their diet.
B) These bones improve hearing by allowing vibrations to be better picked up in air and the detection of higher frequencies.
C) These bones allowed the detection of vibrations (hearing) for the first time in evolutionary history.
D) These bones improve vision by providing an additional anchor point for the optic nerve.
Regarding the evolution of the mammalian inner ear, the above diagram shows:A) the co-option of jaw bones (colored) for use in hearingB) the loss of jaw bones (colored) and the origin of de-novo hearing bones C) the evolution of synapsids, which have little to do with mammalian evolutionD) the results of a population bottleneck which led to the fixation of odd alleles for ear development

- 375 million years ago, the population of organisms we call Tiktaalik had variation in many aspects of the appendages including the bones, muscles and nerves. What evolutionary force was likely most responsible for rapid adaptation and the relatively rapid evolution of limbs in this lineage? (A) natural selection (B) NONE of these C) mutations D genetic drift (E) speciationarrow_forward. The upper forelimbs of humans and bats have fairly similarskeletal structures, whereas the corresponding bones inwhales have very different shapes and proportions. However,genetic data suggest that all three kinds of organisms divergedfrom a common ancestor at about the same time. Which ofthe following is the most likely explanation for these data?(A) Forelimb evolution was adaptive in people and bats, butnot in whales.(B) Natural selection in an aquatic environment resulted insignificant changes to whale forelimb anatomy.(C) Genes mutate faster in whales than in humans or bats.(D) Whales are not properly classified as mammals.arrow_forwardEyes are often used in arguments for intelligent design because many consider this organ to be too complex to have evolved by chance alone. However, complex lensed eyes evolved independently both within cephalod mollusks and vertebrates including our own ancestor. In the evolution of these structures the corresponding phylogenies revealed that both: A) were preceded by the evolution of 'simple' light sensing eyes, thus having adaptive intermediate evolutionary steps. B) lacked intermediate evolutionary steps involving the evolution of 'simple' eyes. C) had intermediate evolutionary steps, but ultimately the vertebrate eye had a superior 'design' without any kind of blind spot, relative to the simple invertebrate cephalopod eye. D) were preceded by vestigial non-functional optic structures.arrow_forward
- Which of the following best describes the evolution of smell in chordates? A) Ancestrally, jawless fish had few ancestral scent genes that coded for receptors resembling a combination of water and air receptors. Subsequently these genes were duplicated and specialized through natural selection either for use in water or air. B) Ancestrally, all olfactory receptors where specialized for water as the ancestor of all vertebrates was aquatic. Only once did olfactory genes become duplicated and specialized and this was in the transition to land for receptors that work in air. C) All chordates share the same number of scent receptor genes. However, they have become variously deactivated through natural selection due to either unuse or a tradeoff for sight genes. D) None of the above.arrow_forwardPut the following milestones in animal evolution in orderfrom oldest to most recent: (a) origin of mammals,(b) earliest evidence of terrestrial arthropods, (c) Ediacaranfauna, (d) extinction of large, nonflying dinosaurs.arrow_forwardWhat can skeletal anatomy and DNA sequences in existing primates tell us about the study of human evolution?arrow_forward
