Explain what Dawkins says selection is acting on in chapter 2 and how that variation is distributed throughout a population (gene pool) (blending vs. independent assortment). -150 word minimum In chapter 3, Dawkins suggests that selection is powerful yet unconscious of its actions ("without any understanding at all"). He uses a variety of examples to highlight how various organisms drive selection, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously, by mediating the breeding process.

Which statement accurately complete the following sentence: “If selection favors a new allele within a population, over time that allele should increase in frequency, however, genetic drift..” Correct Answer - can weaken selection, which occurs to a higher degree in smaller populations compared to larger populations. Incorrect Answer - will increase and strengthen selection on the allele and cause the allele to go to fixation faster. Question: Please explain in detail why the correct answer is correct and please also explain why the incorrect answer is not correct.
Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false. 1. As recently as 200 years ago, many people believed that Earth was only 6,000 years old. 2. Artificial selection occurs when nature selects for beneficial traits. 3. The individual Galápagos Islands are all similar to each other. 4. Malthus argued that human populations grow faster than their resources. 5. Lamarck was one of the first scientists to propose that species evolve by natural selection. 6. Lyell was one of the first to say that Earth must be far older than most people believed. 7. Lamarck's inheritance of acquired characteristics is has become a widely accepted scientific theory. 8. Fossils proved to Darwin that species can evolve. 9. The term fitness to refer to an organism's ability to outrun its hunters. 10. Darwin published his findings soon after returning to England from the voyage of the Beagle. 11. According to Darwin, natural selection is what occurs, and evolution is how it happens. 12.…

How can Darwin's finches explain natural selection and descent with modification? What is another example of natural selection and descent with modification? In both of your answers, you should describe the trait that was selected for/against and why this trait was an advantage/disadvantage. Plus, state how natural selection changed the population over time.
How do Genetic Variation, Competition & selection, and Inheritance each support natural selection? Use at least 1 example from the Beaks of Finches lab in your answer for each.
