Click Close the Book. Then, choose three different variations of adaptations to start the game. Remember Darwin's hint of diversityl You will play the game a few times in order to live one million years. You will be writing down information from your SECOND and FINAL attempt in the questions below on this handout. Notice, as the environment changes, traits suited to the new environment will survive. Play until you win! Second Attempt 17. List the three mutations you selected (use the table above to help you). Explain why you chose that combination of traits. qquad qquad qquad qquad 18. What changing environments did you encounter? qquad qquad

## Step 1: Understanding the Table<br />### The table provided in the image is divided into three sections. The first section contains headers and one example row with a body type "Thin", its adaptation "Stay Cool", and its con "Cold Weather". The second section is empty, and the third section has placeholders for different body types but no additional information.<br /><br />## Step 2: Identifying Mutations<br />### Based on the table, we need to select three different mutations (adaptations) for our second attempt in the game. Since the table only provides one example ("Thin" with "Stay Cool" and "Cold Weather"), we will have to infer or create other possible adaptations that could be beneficial in different environments.<br /><br />## Step 3: Choosing Adaptations<br />### Considering Darwin's hint of diversity, we should choose adaptations that cover a range of environmental conditions. For instance:<br />1. **Thick Fur** - Pro: Warmth in Cold Weather, Con: Overheating in Hot Weather.<br />2. **Webbed Feet** - Pro: Efficient Swimming, Con: Less Effective on Land.<br />3. **Camouflage Skin** - Pro: Avoid Predators, Con: Limited to Specific Environments.<br /><br />## Step 4: Explaining Choices<br />### We chose these adaptations because they provide a diverse set of traits that can help survive in various changing environments. Thick fur helps in cold climates, webbed feet are useful in aquatic environments, and camouflage skin aids in avoiding predators.<br /><br />## Step 5: Encountering Changing Environments<br />### During the game, you might encounter environments such as:<br />1. **Cold Climate** - Favoring thick fur.<br />2. **Aquatic Environment** - Favoring webbed feet.<br />3. **Predator-Rich Area** - Favoring camouflage skin.
