Are changed to an Organics physical environment likely to result in an evolutionary change? a. A trail that is favourable in one environment can be less successful or even harmful in another enviroment. Thus, if a leature of the environment changes, selective pressuree may change as well.
b. Evolutionary changes may be caused by the physical environment of an organism because physical aspects are the only elements that affect species fitness.
c. Changes to the physical errvironmeril are not likely to result in an evolutionary change because natural selection does only with living organisms. It favors or goes against their particular trails and does not deal with non-living aspects.
d. Changes in the physical anvironment connot influence evolution because the physical environment is not connected to genetic information, which is the one attached by natural selection.
Choose examples to support your reasoning.
a. An introduction of a new food resource into the environment may cause a new species to appear.
b. A predator not eating a bright colored prey again because the previous time the taste was unpleasant.
c. An introduction of a new species of predator may cause the evolution of new defenses in some prey species.
d. An increase in temperature may select against cold-adapted genotypes.
e. An increase in a population of one species may case the extension of another species with the same food ration.
