Question 10
The fossil record of horses shows that early horses were much smaller and possessed more toes than modern horses (which now only posess one toe). Which of the following best describes how the traits of horses changed?
Select one:

The horses were browsing in higher and higher trees during their lifetimes, which caused their body size and toes to change.

Mutations for larger size and fewer toes gradually arose over time, and these mutations were favored by natural selection.

The horses that encountered larger predators themselves grew larger and their toes became reduced to help them run faster.

Female horses preferred males that were larger and had fewer toes because they wanted their offspring to possess those traits.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mutations for larger size and fewer toes gradually arose over time, and these mutations were favored by natural selection.

Explanation:

with  my question a chart cam and if you look at the chart it shows when they grow they use fewer toes not more

The traits of horses changed when mutations for larger size and fewer toes gradually arose over time.

Evolution of Horses

The fossil record of horses changed over the period as the result of evolution.

The process of growth and development of the earliest horses changed as the evolution of other animals changed over time with big and smaller sizes.

The natural selection allows the process of evolution.

The evolution helped horses change their size, which passed down to new genes.

Thus the correct answer is B. Mutations for larger size and fewer toes gradually arose over time, and these mutations were favored by natural selection.
