Final answer:

The evolution of the modern horse is characterized by changes in size, molar teeth, and foot structure over time.


Explanation:

The evolution of the modern horse is characterized by several key trends over time:

  1. Increase in size: The lineage leading to modern horses grew taller, from the small Hyracotherium to the larger Equus.
  2. Changes in molar teeth: Molar teeth gradually widened and elongated to adapt to grinding tough grasses.
  3. Evolution of foot structure: The modern horse lineage underwent changes in foot anatomy, including the degeneration of outer phalanges, allowing for faster running on hard ground.
