Q2.10. You are studying how a species of snake might respond to climate change. You select 20 newly hatched snakes from the same clutch. You rear half of them at 1 2 C and half at 2 2 C . Once the snakes fully mature, you test the speed with which each snake can strike prey while in each of two separate chambers: one at 1 2 C and one at 2 2 C (the rearing temperatures). The results are shown in the graph below. Do these results support the hypothesis that differences in strike speed are due to acclimation, or adaptation? Why? hakes reared at 2 2 C Acclimation, because the difference in strike speeds between the two groups of snakes occurred within a single generation. Acclimation, because it is rare for physiological traits (such as strike speed) to be the product of evolution. Adaptation, because each snake had a much higher strike speed at the temperature of its own native environment. Adaptation, because strike speed is at least partially determined by the genetics of the snake..
