A population of tortoises lives on an island. The tortoises eat the leaves of cactus plants that also grow on the island to survive. Half of the tortoises have long necks. Half have short necks.
The climate of the island changes so that cactus plants grow taller, and their leaves are higher off the ground. Which is most likely to happen over time?
The number of tortoises with long necks will increase because they have an advantage in the new environment.
