Chapter 1, Problem 9TYPSS

DON'T EXPLAIN, JUST GIVE THE ANSWER According to Charles Darwin, organic evolution is "descent with modification," which simply means   Select one: A. inherited variations decline as reproductive potential is modified. B. characteristics acquired during the lifetime of an individual are passed on to all descendants of the individual. C. the fittest always impose change on the less fit. D. populations change over time.

Look carefully at the picture below and you will see an insect called a katydid. Katydids evolved from grasshoppers through natural selection. Use this to explain how could have this happened.

Explain how Darwin’s theory of evolution via natural selection was influenced by the work of scientists that preceded him. Highlight the contribution of three scientists mentioned in the text / slides in your response.

Evolution______ . a. is change in a line of descent b. is the same as natural selection c. is the goal of natural selection d. explains the origin of life

Darwin expressed that there was a force in nature that worked like an artificial selection. How is artificial selection different from Darwin’s idea of natural selection?

Research the definition the term; “agents of selection”, in relation to Darwin’s concept about Natural Selection. Afterwards, explain and discuss what is/are asked in the question below: In what sense are humans currently acting as "agents of selection" on other species? Name some organisms that are favored by the environmental changes humans cause.

Which BEST describes how survival of the fittest relates to natural selection? A) Organisms with favorable traits will be naturally selected to pass their traits on to the next generation. B) Organisms with the lowest gene mutations will be naturally selected to pass their traits on to the next generation. C) Organisms with the most recessive genes will be naturally selected to pass their traits on to the next generation. D) Organisms living in a stable environment will be naturally selected to pass their traits on to the next generation.

Review darwin's theory of natural selection. Write a paragraph reflection explaining a) what you learned from the evidence of revolution and b.) The connections you made with what you learn about darwin's theory of natural selection and how meet mutations play an important role in the natural selection.

According to Gould, what evidence did Darwin look for in specimens?    A. Evidence of biological parts that are strange and odd  B. Evidence of a perfect natural purpose to biological parts  C. Evidence of intelligent design
