Final Jeopardy Topic
Evolution
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.
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.
