Question

Red-eyed tree frog eggs can hatch up to two days earlier than average when they detect vibrations. However, if they hatch more than two days earlier than expected due to vibrations, the embryos are typically not developed enough to survive outside of the egg. Explain how natural selection inhibited frog eggs from hatching any earlier than two days before expected hatching. Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences. (2 points)

Answer 1

Natural selection inhibited the eggs from hatching before expected because this trait is negative in terms of survival and reproduction.
