25) What was a major gap in evolutionary theory when Darwin published "The origin of species by natural selection"? A) We did not know what might cause competition between individuals of the same species B) We did not know that microscopic organisms exist C) We did not know about dinosaurs D) We did not know how traits could be inherited, or how new traits might arise in a population 26) In the late 1800s, the saltation hypothesis (hopeful monster hypothesis) was proposed as a way to explain how speciation happens. Why was this hypothesis ultimately rejected by “the new synthesis"? A) Because it was silly B) Because we discovered the DNA nature of genes C) Because it could not explain where mutations came from D) Because it required individuals to evolve rather than populations
