uestion 4 n Darwin's mind, the origin of species is inextricably linked to the extinction of species. Why? O New species are better adapted than older species. New species are much better predators than older species. New species kill off the old species. So as new species form, old species are killed off. O New species are better adapted than older species. New species outcompete older forms, causing them to go extinct. So as new species form, old species naturally disappear. O New species mate with older species. This mating merges the two species together. So as new species form, older species merge into them and disappear. O No answer text provided.

Many species of animals make alarm calls, whichwarn others in their group that a predator isapproaching. Alarm calls also attract the attention of the predator, making it more likely thatthe individual making the call will be eaten. Whymight natural selection favor the evolution ofalarm calls in a species? How might you test thathypothesis?
Two species of fish had recently undergone sympatric speciation. The males of each species had a different coloring through which females could identify and choose a partner from her own species. After some time, pollution made the lake so cloudy it was hard for females to distinguish colors. What might take place in this situation?
The diversity of modern vertebrates was shaped in partby mass extinctions. The most severe extinction eventwe know of occured at the border between the Permianand Triassic periods about 250 million years ago. Anestimated 96 percent of the marine species and 70 percentof land species disappeared in what is sometimes called“The Great Dying.” The cause of this mass extinctionremains under investigation. Suggested causes includean asteroid impact, extreme volcanic activity, or a sudden release of carbon dioxide from deposits on the sea floor. Which groups of vertebrates were present when this mass extinction event occurred? Which evolvedafterward?
