1.Look at the photo of the rattlesnake. Why do you think rattlesnakes might be in danger of being stepped on? Why do you think n
atural selection would favor a characteristic that makes it more likely for a rattlesnake to be stepped on accidentally? 2.hat were the forces in the rattlesnake's environment that favored rattles? What in the environment might have changed? How does this affect whether rattling is a favorable or unfavorable characteristic?
rattlesnakes are very dangerous and there venom can kill you they are not gonna not bite you if you were to say"oh im sorry mister snake i did not mean to step on you :)" they will bight you if you get to close there tail will rattle that is a sign to leave it be
1. The reason I think that the rattlesnake might be in danger of being stepped on is that it like every other snake has to slither on the ground in order to relocate its-self to another place. If the environment were to change then the snake could be in a lot more danger because if the environment were to change it could cause food shortages and it could cause habitat destruction. The reason why I think that natural selection would make it more likely to be stepped on is because of the rattlesnake's camouflage that can make it blend in with its surroundings. This what can make it be stepped on accidentally.
2. The forces that were in the rattlesnake's favor were that in its natural habitat it enables it to blend in with its natural surroundings. The thing in the environment that might have changed is food and if there was a natural disaster this could make that happen. The way that this can affect whether the rattlesnake is a favorable or unvaforable characteristic is by it if it wasn't then it wouldn't be able to survive in its habitat, but, This rattlesnake is favored by this characteristic because it's able to survive in this habitat.
