Inheritance: The size and weight of the elephants, and the size of their tusks.
Selection: elephant tusks are important for getting food and water, and competing for mates.
Time: The first elephant was the paleomastodon, lived 35 million years ago. The modern elephant lived 5 million years ago.]]> 2017-06-13 15:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176269900 javier_gonzalez3 https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176273035 2017-06-13 15:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176273035 javier_gonzalez3 https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176310398 Elephants natural selection their tusks, because in the beginning all male elephants started out with large tucks that were used for defense, offense, digging, lifting objects, gathering food, and stripping bark to eat from trees. Now instead of having large tusks, their having smaller tusks now like some female elephants do. The way this helps elephants is that people mainly hunt them for their huge tusks that elephants have, but if their tusks get smaller or become tusk-less, their would be less people hunting them and their number would increase in population.]]> 2017-06-13 20:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176310398 javier_gonzalez3 https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176312134 The mutation that elephants are having is elephants being born without tusks. An elephant being born without tusks is a good thing and a bad thing. This is good because poachers wouldn't go for them anymore, is that what all poachers want is their tusks and if they're born without tusks they wont get killed by poachers anymore. The reason this is bad is because they would become easier prey for humans and animals because of how their mutation affects their defensive system, which are their tusks ]]> 2017-06-13 20:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176312134 javier_gonzalez3 https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176563933 Both Asian and African elephants migrate and generally follow the same migratory routes annually. Migration distances vary considerably depending on environmental conditions. During a prolonged dry season in Africa, elephant migration distances were recorded to extend over 100 km (62 mi.) African elephants migrate with forest elephants which split up from the African elephants and go western, as well to central regions of Africa and the savanna elephants go eastern and to southern regions in Africa.]]> 2017-06-15 14:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/176563933 javier_gonzalez3 https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/260083151 sexual selection applies in the scenario where female elephants began to prefer shorter trunks, rather than long trunk sizes and in result then choose their mates based off of the males tusks

Elephants ate being killed for their tusks. Leaving less with tusks to pass them on, so the ones with no tusks pass on their genes which means more Elephants ate having no tusks.

For males they use these glands to produce a certain liquid in the presence of a females. But the females have no use for them. ]]> 2018-05-11 23:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/260095313 javier_gonzalez3 https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/260095666 Per. 6 Biology]]> 2018-05-11 23:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_gonzalez3/te2ymfd5z9e9/wish/260095666
