Which of the following statements best describes the evolutionary concept illustrated by this example? A. Homozygous genotypes increase fitness in a population. B. Hybrid plants are known to have a disadvantage over homozygous genotypes. C. Natural selection selects against the recessive gene and for the dominant gene. D. Certain phenotypic variations can significantly increase fitness of the organism in particular environments.
Geographer, historian, and author Jared Diamond (1987) once referred to agriculture as "the worst mistake in the history of the human race." Given what you have learned about the health consequences of the domestication of plants and animals for humans, how would you respond to his statement? You may find this article helpful in your discussion response: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4163920/
Describe two 'beneficial' aspects from the last 10,000 years of humanity, as well as two 'dis-advantageous' aspects. Agriculture should be your guiding point here.
