Question 30 of 31

In 2-3 sentences, what was the overall purpose of the lab for this week?
The overall objective of experiment 2 is to see which stickle cell fish has complete, reduced, or absent pelvic by examining fossils from two different lakes.
|
Comment: you are on the right track, but what can we learn from that bone?
The purpose of the lab is to examine the Stickleback fish's pelvis over time. It presence or absence of the pelvis tells of the environment during that time in it's history, and how the species have evolved over time.
