Within a species of short, ground-dwelling animals, two parents produced a group of offspring that were 1 cm taller than they were. these offspring were able to reach slightly higher vegetation than their parents and other members of the species. when the offspring grew up, they produced new offspring who were also slightly taller and could also reach the higher vegetation. this process continued over several generations such that offspring became gradually taller with time. eventually, after many generations, all members of the species were at least 20 cm taller than the original two parents that produced the slightly taller offspring. what does this illustrate? a. ground-dwelling animals would survive better if they evolve to be shorter. b. slight differences between parents and offspring can eventually result in future generations that are very different from their ancestors. c. biological change does not apply to ground-dwelling animals. d. only major differences between parents and offspring can result in future generations that are very different from their ancestors.

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.
