It has been thought for a long time that zebras had stripes to act as camouflage against lions, their primary predator. However, this hypothesis went untested for a long time. Hypotheses about adaption need to be tested carefully, How might we be able to either gather observational data or do an experiment taht would test the question of wheather stripes are an adaptation to reduce preadation by lions. Include Null hypothesis, the variables you would measure and what your treatment and control groups are.    Just need Null hypothesis and Treatement control as bullet points

Evolutionary adaptations

Evolutionary adaptation is the process through which organisms adapt or adjust to their surroundings to increase the chances of survival, mating, and reproduction. An organism's behavior, physiology, and structure are adjusted or changed to make it more suited to its environment.
