According to the information in the article,


A
contrary to what scientists originally believed, most of the organisms involved in the evolutionary arms race have a simple rather than complex structure.
B
Darwinian selection applies not only to the evolution of certain venomproducing animals but also to the evolution of the targets of that venom.
C
because of negative selection, abrupt changes in long-established ecological niches can be severely damaging to certain ancient venomproducing animal groups.
D
because their venoms cannot evolve quickly, ancient venom-producing animal groups rarely establish themselves in new habitats.
E
recent studies indicate that the “two-speed” model of venom evolution does not adequately explain how and why animal groups produce new types of venoms.

According to the information in the article, which of the following is most likely to happen when a venomous animal group enters a new habitat?


A
It immediately undergoes evolutionary pressure to maintain its venom at its already established toxicity level.
B
Depending on the new environment, its venom will immediately undergo evolutionary pressure from either positive or negative selection.
C
Its venom will pass through a series of relatively quick modifications in order to achieve a toxicity level effective for the new environment.

Until its venom passes through evolutionary modifications, it will be unable to catch new types of prey.

According to the information in the article, Kartik Sunagar and Yehu Moran


A
were the first scientists to concentrate their venom studies exclusively on ancient animal groups rather than on comparatively young animal groups.
B
were the first scientists to observe that venoms produced by ancient animal groups are more potent and complex than those produced by new animal groups.
C
were the first scientists to discover that the venoms of snakes and cone snails evolve through positive selection.
D
have proposed that negative selection is a more powerful and more prevalent evolutionary force than positive selection.
E
have proposed that the evolution of animal venom is better explained through the “two-speed” model than though the arms race analogy.

With respect to evolutionary pressure, which of the following is most supported by the information in the article?


A
The extinction of any venom-producing animal group, young or old, is an example of negative selection.
B
If a venom-producing animal group is undergoing negative selection, then it probably has already undergone positive selection.
C
Because of positive selection, venoms produced by younger animal groups affect a greater number of target animals than do venoms produced by older animal groups.
D
When negative selection begins to influence an animal group’s venom production, rapid evolutionary changes become impossible.
E
After a venom-producing animal group undergoes negative selection, its evolutionary process can be considered complete.

With respect to older animal groups, which of the following is most supported by the information in the article?


A
Instead of helping to promote changes in their venoms, their evolutionary process tends to block such changes.
B
Their venoms are generally less potent than those of the newer animal groups.
C
Their venoms are generally purer and more concentrated than those of the newer animal groups.
D
Of those snake species classified as members of the older animal groups, very few produce venoms.

According to the information in the article, before Kartik Sunagar and Yehu Moran performed their own venom study, other studies


A
failed to observe the mutually dependent relationship between venomproducing animals and the targets of venoms.
B
focused on snakes and cone snails because those animals are widely available for scientific research.
C
focused on snakes and cones snails because the results of such studies were comparatively easy to test and verify.
D
produced incomplete results because the scientists responsible limited their research to a restricted evolutionary period.
E
produced inadequate results because the scientists responsible focused their research on venom-producing animals whose evolutionary history extended beyond 50 million years.
