There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c

olored with red and white stripes. The second species, Caridina multidentata, is more mottled drab in coloration. Fish have an easier time finding and eating Caridina cantonensis due to their bright colors. When each of these species reproduce they produce about 100 offspring, but only 30% Caridina cantonensis offspring survive to reproductive age, while 75% Caridina multidentata offspring survive to reproductive age. In this situation what is natural selection selecting for? In this situation what is natural selection selecting against? How do you predict this population will evolve? Identify how each of the listed conditions from the above scenario that influence natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.  

In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.  

The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.  

The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age  whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.

The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.

Large brain size, small and flat face, small jaws and teeth, exploitation of diversity are some common features of <em>homo </em>species. <em>Different</em><em> </em><em>homo </em>species have different shapes of skulls.

Homo, genus of the family Hominidae (order Primates), is distinguished by a relatively large cranial capacity, limb structure adapted to a habitual erect posture and a bipedal gait, well-developed and fully opposable thumbs, hands capable of power and precision grips, and the ability to make standardized precision tools by combining one tool with another.

<em>Different </em><em>Homo </em>species are differentiate from skull shapes. Their body shapes also tends to vary. This is due to different environment conditions in different time zones.

However,<em> Homo</em> species show many common characteristics such as Large brain size, small and flat face, small jaws and teeth.
