Answer and Explanation:

a. According to Lamarck, the origin of the long hind legs of the Ord's kangaroo rat is acquired due to extensive use of the muscle legs to jump. Such physical characteristics could be transmitted to future generations. This theory is called Neo-Lamarckism.

b. Darwin, on the other hand, theorized that in a population of Ord's kangaroo rat, there was an individual whose characteristics, long tail and hind legs, had more chances of escaping its predator and, consequently, could survive and reproduce. This theory is called Darwinism.

A small number of finches live in a protected bird sanctuary. Natural selection
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Natural selection  is least likely to occur in this population if:

  • The resources are continuously available

For a species to survive in an area, it is essential that the place has enough resources like nutrients, space, water etc. If these resources are available then there will be less chances of competition which will lead to lesser chances of natural selection.

  • The number of of death rates is equal to the number of of birth rates

In an balanced ecosystem, the number of birth rates is equal to the number of death rates for a population. If the number of death rates is lesser to the number of birth rates then the competition for resources will lead to natural selection.
