1. Summarize the step-by-step process of natural selection that leads to adaptive traits and evolution.
2. To illustrate this process, provide one example of an adaptation and describe how it would have evolved through natural selection. You can use a real example or make up your own,
Describe the general step-by-step process of natural selection that leads to adaptive traits and evolution. (Hint: a complete response will likely include, among others, relevant terms such as 'mutation', 'population', 'variation', 'competition', 'inheritance', 'reproductive success', and 'the environment'.)
Provide ONE real or made-up example of an adaptation and explain, using the terms above, how it would have evolved by natural selection (again, do not use an example from lecture). It is better to include one very thorough, well-articulated example than several unclear examples.
