The process of evolution results from four known factors. For each listed factor, describe how those factors were observed in the wolf/rabbit simulation.
Factors that result in Evolution:
Variation (individuals have different traits)
Inheritance (traits are inherited)
Differential survival and reproduction (some individuals have traits that help them survive and reproduce)
Adaptation/Advantageous Trait (the frequency of that trait increases in the population)
Observations:
Answer (2)
The wolf/rabbit simulation illustrated evolution through variation, inheritance, differential survival and reproduction, and adaptation. Each factor was evidenced by how traits affected the survival rates of wolves and rabbits. This simulation highlights the fundamental principles of evolutionary biology. ;
The wolf/rabbit simulation demonstrates evolution through variation, inheritance, differential survival and reproduction, and adaptation. Each factor was evidenced by traits affecting survival rates of both species. This illustrates how advantageous traits become more common over generations due to natural selection.
