#2. 6. Which species below is most closely related to humans? A. Orangutan B. Chimpanzee C. Bear D. Horse   7. All of the different skin colors can be described by the mechanics of evolution. A. True B. False 8. A lot of “new” traits in an individual arise from a changing of that individual’s genetic code from the norm. Name two of the three ways.     9. Please explain how Darwin and Lamarck would explain the development of the long trunk on an elephant.  Darwin Lamarck    According to Darwin, explain what might have happened in the environment that could have facilitated (helped lead to) the long trunk.

The formation of complex structures, like the eye, can now be easily explained by evolution.
