Life on earth has lasted an estimated 3.5 billion years, experiencing different environmental change like extreme heat and ice age. But living organisms on Earth have their seasons, and all living things will be wiped out eventually. Having learned about the different type of evidence used to proved evolution, hypothesize how human beings will adapt in the next five years. Direction: List down five adaptation that our species may develop in order to continue surviving on Earth. Explain each adapation.

Evolution is based on which of the following concepts? (a) organisms share a common origin (b) over time, organisms have diverged from a common ancestor (c) an animals body parts can change over its lifetime, and these acquired changes are passed to the next generation (d) a and b (e) a, b, and c
It has taken millions of years for the ancestors of whales to change into what we know today, as indicated in the diagram below. Based on your knowledge of evolution, which of the following is a reasonable explanation of why the organisms in the diagram changed over 25 million years? Question options: As the environment changed the food sources became more difficult to obtain so characteristics that allowed the organisms to hunt in an aquatic environment became more advantageous. As the environment changed the temperature became too hot and the organisms began to move to a more aquatic environment to keep cool. As the environment changed the food sources became more difficult to obtain so the organisms decided to change their characteristics to ones that would be beneficial when hunting in an aquatic environment. As the environment changed the predators on land became better adapted to hunting the whales ancestors forcing them to live in more aquatic…
Applying your knowledge of genetics, natural selection and evolution, how is the positive response to global climate change possible? Is your answer supported by the information from the article “Can Evolution outrace Climate Change”? According to the authors of this article, what are the conditions necessary for an organism to evolve to accommodate climate change?
Hello! I have a discussion tommorow with my classmates, and the prompt says like this: Discuss whether changes to an organism's physical environment are likely to result in evolutionary change. Use examples to support your reasoning. Second, using at least two examples, explain how the process of evolution is revealed by the imperfections of living organisms.
In your body, you have systems (digestive system, circulatory system, etc.). Each system is made up of organs. Each organ is made up of tissues. Each tissue is made up of cells. Each cell is made up of chemicals. What characteristic of life is being demonstrated by all this? Group of answer choices development natural selection evolution irritability high complexity

Select the true statements from the following regarding the evolutionary theories that are thought to have combined to give rise to life on earth. Reproduction is required for both chemical and biological evolution. Both chemical and biological evolution are defined by change over time. Purpose of Miller-Urey experiment was to answer the question: can chemistry give rise to complex molecules required for life? The Miller-Urey experiment showed that chemistry can give rise to the molecules required for evolution of life.
Explain how evolution occurs after a mass extinction. Give a step-by-step process (use bullet points and underline key words you know I am looking for).
Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the Cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and diffusion of sunlight. Which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike? Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately before the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its lowest immediately after the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately after the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of…
Out of the three, what would be an example of evolution? A population of green beetles changes over many generations to a population of brown beetles. Individual green beetles in a population become brown because of what they are eating. The environment where a population of green beetles is living changes, becoming much more cold over time.
Scientists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey set up an experiment modeling the environmental conditions thought to exist during the early stages of Earth's formation. The setup of Miller and Urey's experiment is shown below. Which conclusion about the origin of life could be drawn from the potential results of this experiment? Life assembled from chemical building blocks. Life began when water vapor became electrified. Life evolved from the DNA of simple unicellular organisms. Life began when salt water caused a mutation in an ancient virus.
Climate change is an increasing threat that scientists are trying to not only combat but prepare for future increases in temperature and rainfall. One of the effects of climate change is the warming of ocean and air temperatures. The sex of sea turtle offspring is determined by temperature during development. Temperature over 87° Fahrenheit will result in female offspring. In 3-5 sentences, describe how organisms like the sea turtle might adapt to the rise in ocean and air temperatures. In your explanation, describe the correlation between environmental factors and natural selection.
