Final Jeopardy Topic

• Evolution

29
Final Jeopardy Question

• Gazelles on the African plains are often hunted
  by the top predators. Over time, the gazelles
  have evolved to have very large eyes on either
  side of their head and very large ears.
• How do their eyes and ears factor into their
  survival?
• Explain how, through Natural Selection, gazelles
  have evolved to have these kind of eyes and ears.

30
Final Jeopardy Answer

• The eyes on either side of the head help them to
  see the predators coming from all directions.
  The large ears help them to hear the predators.
• Over time, the gazelles that had poor hearing and
  vision were killed off. Those with better vision
  and hearing survived to pass those traits on to
  their offspring.
