Question 1

Breeding programs for farm-raised chickens result in a variety of unusual colors and feathers.Is this an example of evolution?

Accepted Answer

A) No.Domesticated animals do not undergo evolution. 
B) No.Evolution occurs over long periods of time and cannot be observed. 
C) Yes.Chickens that are better adapted to the environment will survive and breed. 
D) Yes.The change in chicken coloration is a genetic change in the population over time.
