While observing some ants, a group of german scientists noticed that the ants had an excellent sense of distance. wondering how this was possible, they decided to perform an experiment. first, the scientists taught ants to retrieve food from a feeder placed near the ants' home. then, they removed the lower portion of some of the ants' legs to make them shorter. they also attached tiny stilts to some of the other ants' legs to make them longer. finally, the scientists watched the altered ants attempt to retrieve food from the feeder. after several trials, the scientists found that the ants with shortened legs walked toward the feeder but stopped short of it. on the other hand, the ants with lengthened legs walked past the feeder. which of the following conclusions can be made given this information? a. altering an ant's leg length has no effect. b. the ants on stilts were more off balance than other ants. c. the ants were no longer interested in the food. d. ants count their steps while walking.

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
