Question

Which pattern emerged in horse evolution as scientists studied early horse fossils and modern horse bones?(1 point) Responses Early and intermediate horses had four foot bones (three small and one large), and modern horses have three foot bones (two small and one large). Early and intermediate horses had four foot bones (three small and one large), and modern horses have three foot bones (two small and one large). The earliest horses had a single large foot bone, intermediate forms had three foot bones (two small and one large), and modern horses have four foot bones (three small and one large). The earliest horses had a single large foot bone, intermediate forms had three foot bones (two small and one large), and modern horses have four foot bones (three small and one large). Early and intermediate horses had three foot bones (two small and one large), and modern horses have four foot bones (three small and one large). Early and intermediate horses had three foot bones (two small and one large), and modern horses have four foot bones (three small and one large). The earliest horses had four foot bones (three small and one large), intermediate forms had three foot bones (two small and one large), and modern horses have a single large foot bone.

Answer 1

The correct pattern that emerged in horse evolution is: Early and intermediate horses had four foot bones (three small and one large), and modern horses have three foot bones (two small and one large). This reflects the evolution of horses from smaller, multi-toed ancestors to the modern horse, which has a single hoof.
