Watch the original 1968 movie Planet of the Apes. Document as many scientiﬁc problems with the movie as you can. Which of the apes’ adaptations would be biologically possible, and which ones would be impossible, from your understanding of apes on Earth today? If this species did evolve to have the adaptive traits of Homo, would its members still be called apes?
DNA sequences in many human genes are very similar to the sequences of corresponding genes in chimpanzees. Which of the following statements is the explanation for this result? Group of answer choices Convergent evolution led to the DNA similarities. Humans and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor. Humans evolved from chimpanzees. Chimpanzees evolved from humans.
Which of the following statements about evolution is false?a. Gene mutations alone amount to evolution. b. Genetic drift and gene flow are modern theories of evolution.c. Natural selection contributes to evolution.d. Chimpanzees evolved from a hominoid ancestor.
Evolution by natural selection is founded on what basic idea? Random genetic mutations that help a species survive will be more likely to be passed to future generations. Only traits that will help an individual organism survive will be passed down to future generations. Only the biggest, strongest, fastest, or smartest creatures survive. Traits that animals acquire over their life will be taught to future generations.
What type of evolution do humans have? (Parallel, Convergent, or Divergent)
Approximately 98% of the information in human DNA is shared by chimpanzee DNA. This is evidence of which of the following? As chimpanzees evolve, they will become more similar to humans. Chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor. Humans evolved from chimpanzees. All of the above.
Tarsiers are one of the small species of primates generally found in tropical islands like Bohol, Philippines. Gibbons are small apes usually found in the forests of Southeast Asian regions. Chimpanzees are considered to be the highest form of "thinking organisms" on Earth. The theory of evolution asserts that these species evolved from a related ancestor. By observing the given figure. How will you support or reject the said claim?
The concept of evolution has always been connected with some notion of progress–natural selection pushing populations toward better and better adaptations to create "perfect organisms." How would you argue that evolution does not craft perfect organisms?
