5. Which of the following would be a modern example of Lamarckianism? * A certain population of organisms adapted to their environment well and reproduced successfully, dominating over other organisms. A strain of houseflies resistant to insecticides emerges. No answer A son is born with a portion of his right index finger missing - the same portion that was severed from his father's hand in an accident. Squirrels separated by a river are found to be unable to interbreed.
Microtaxonomy ( Species and Speciation ) People who do not believe in evolution often cite the classic example of man presumably evolving from the apes. They oftern ask: if humans evolved from apes, why are there apes until today? How will you provide a convincing answer that there is no contradiction in the existence of apes and humans at the same time?
What is the difference between micro- and macroevolution? Microevolution describes the evolution of small organisms, such as insects, while macroevolution describes the evolution of large organisms, like people and elephants Microevolution describes the evolution of microscopic entities, such as molecules and proteins, while macroevolution describes the evolution of whole organisms Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms in populations, while macroevolution describes the evolution of species over long periods of time Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms over their lifetimes, while macroevolution describes the evolution of organisms over multiple generations.

1. How does anatomical fossil evidence helps scientists connect lines of evidence for evolutionary relationships between species? Example and explanation 2 How does anatomical evidence provide clues about the ecological role a species plays in its environment? Example and explanation
From Ants to Grizzlies - General Rules for Saving Biodiversity. What relationship did Wilson observe between island size and diversity of various taxonomic groups of animals? Provide evidence from the video to support. Describe the replicated experiment that Wilson later designed in Florida to test his hypothesis more concretely. Question(s) being tested: Methods / experimental design: Results: Wilson described the world as “a series of islands fragmented by human beings”. Personally speaking, what “islands of nature” exist in the city/county where you live? Identify some specific examples and describe the land uses that surround these islands.
Would it be possible to bring extinct species back? In an article it was expressed how brinng extinct species back is still very futuristic, and we should aim at a smaller creature. Using a smaller sized species like the Christmas rat can set up scientists for potentially larger species. There is a major issue that comes up and that is incomplete genes. It makes it difficult to even compare modern day rat to the Christmas rats' genome because their genes are specialized and as more time passes, the harder it is to have a match. The article also talked about using modern day elephants to make a woolly elephant, meaning they don't want a perfect match. Rather, scientists want to make hybrids since it could be more realistic.
2) A species is a group of individual organisms that interbreed and produce fertile, viable offspring. According to this definition, one species is distinguished from another when, in nature, it is not possible for matings between individuals from each species to produce fertile offspring. Evolution is an important mechanism in the formation of new species. The evolution of a new species requires several components including all, BUT A) Evolution of a new species requires a long time. B) Evolution of a new species requires the need for a genetic change. C) Evolution of a new species requires a separation that prevents interbreeding. D) Evolution of a new species requires mutations that produce new genetic traits. Not Graded
