10. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Ancestral tortoises with short necks and shells that permitted greater neck movement obtained food more easily, survived longer, and produced more offspring than other tortoises Question #2... Vegetation on Hood Island is sparse and sometimes hard to reach. How might the vegetation have affected the evolution of the Hood Island tortoise shown in the figure below? None of these choices is correct Ancestral tortoises with long necks and shells that permitted greater neck movement obtained food more easily, survived longer, and produced more offspring than other tortoises Ancestral tortoises with long necks and shells that prevented greater neck movement obtained food more easily, survived longer, and produced more offspring than other tortoises A CD B 50/50

16. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD A change in the birds' environement, such as the introduction of a larger kind of food, could have caused the disruptive selection in favor of larger beaks Question #8... According to the theory of evolution what factors or conditions might have led to the change shown in graph A? A change in the birds' environment, such as the introduction of a larger kind of food, could have caused the stabilizing selection in favor of larger beaks According to the theory of evolution nothing had to happen to cause this change. A change in the birds' environment, such as the introduction of a larger kind of food, could have caused the directional selection in favor of larger beaks A CD B 50/50
