Problem
The evolutionary change in centipede segment number was influenced by both developmental bias and natural selection. As shown in the table below, Lithobiomorphs (stone centipedes) and Geophilomorphs (Soil Centipedes) differ in habitat preference and the number of leg bearing segments at the time of hatching from the egg.
Lithobiomorphs: 7 leg bearing segments, leaf litter
Geophilomorphs: 47 leg bearing segments, burrow into soil
Describe how centipede segment number might be influenced by natural selection. Describe how centipede segment number might be influenced by developmental bias.
