1. The females of certain species of
sneak into a nest of alligator eggs to lay their own
eggs and then leave, never to return. When the baby
turtles hatch, they automatically hide from the mother
alligator guarding the nest and go to the nearest body
of water when it is safe to do so. Which statement
best explains the behavior of these baby turtles?
1) More of the turtles' ancestors who acted in this
way survived to reproduce, passing this
behavioral trait to their offspring.
2)
The baby turtles are genetically identical, so they
behave the same way.
4)
3) Turties are not capable of evolving, so they repeat
the same behaviors generation after generation.
The baby turtles' ancestors who learned to
behave this way taught the behaviors to their
offspring
