Question

Galapagos tortoises have specific modifications that allow them to consume food and survive on the Galapagos Islands. Arrange the steps of the evolution of Galapagos tortoises in the correct order. 1.The shrubs were high off the ground and out of reach for the tortoises. 2.This motion gave their shells a saddle-like appearance. 3.The tortoises fed by craning their necks upward. 4.Over time, turtles with arched shells and longer necks were more likely to survive. 4.Tortoises swam from the mainland to the Galapagos Islands. 5.They settled in the ecosystem available there

Answer 1

4. (Tortoises swam...) 5. 1. 3. 2. 4 (Over time...) would be the best sequence I guess.

The parenthesis behind the fours is just for you to know which four I'm talking about (you have 2 fours).

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer 2

The correct order is: 4-5-1-3-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolution is a process in which changes in living beings occur over time, often leading to the emergence of new species. These modifications are passed on to the descendants, which is why many define evolution as the descent with modification.

In studying evolution, we realize that the forms of life we know today are not the same as those that lived thousands of years ago. This means that species have an evolutionary history and that many changes take place in them until the characteristics that we observe today exist.

In the case of the evolutionary history shown in the question above, we can say that the facts happened in the following order: 4-5-1-3-2
