Explanation:

According to Jean Baptiste Lamarck, fossils are the direct evidence of evolution and nucleotide sequence is the direct evidence of molecular evolution

Lamarck said that vestigial organs in different organs is the direct evidence of use and disuse of organs  

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms
