Evolution of Equus Quagga more known as Plain Zebras. Theory of Evolution is when organisms change in response to environmental conditions in order to survive. Plain Zebras are an example of evolution because shows different types of evidence. For the Theory of Evolution to be proven there needs to be evidence because all theories need to have supported evidence.
Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, in the tiny merchant town of Shrewsbury, England and died on April 19, 1882. His studies of specimens around the globe led him to formulate his theory of evolution and his views on the process of natural selection.
Natural Selection is the process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution. The theory of evolution is proven and supported by many different types of evidence. …show more content…
Fossil evidence is when animal or plant remains which have been buried and covered for million years have been discovered and show a story about the past. DNA evidence is when the DNA is similar to other organisms showing that they shared a common ancestor. Homologous Structures are body parts that have the same basic structure and the same relationship to other body parts. Embryonic is when the embryos look similar signaling they share a common ancestor. Vestigial Structures is a body part in a present-day organism that no longer serves a purpose, but was probably useful to an ancestor. Types of Evolution are factors such as environment and predation pressures where organisms can have different effects on the ways in which the organism needs evolve in order to survive. Divergent Evolution is the evolutionary pattern in which two species gradually become increasingly different. Adaptive Radiation is a type of evolution where an animal or plant group into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized modes of life. Convergent Evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share similar traits because of a shared habitat. Coevolution is used to describe cases where two, or more, species seem to affect each other's evolution. The Plain Zebra are smaller than the other two types of zebras. They are about three feet and weigh around hundred pounds. They have very bold stripes that go horizontally towards the back and vertically in the front meeting in a triangle at the center of their back. The zebra’s stripes help identify each other in the wild. The patterns may cause the predators a problem trying to identifying them at dawn. Plains zebras have a wide range in east and southern Africa. They usually live in treeless grasslands and savanna woodlands. In their habitat they would be considered a prey because they are herbivores. Population rates have decreased in the last five decades. This species’ habitat is shrinking and are now extinct in Burundi and Lesotho.The specie is considered nomadic but zebras have very tight families. If zebras keep decreasing then the predators in the top of the food chain will not be receiving their energy because they would not be able to feed off the zebras. Energy is passed up a food chain or web from lower to higher trophic levels. However, generally only about 10 percent of the energy at one level is available to the next level. If the lands
