- Which type of evidence for evolution is most accurate in determining evolutionary relationships–morphology or molecular and why?arrow_forwardWhy is intelligent design (ID) a flawed argument? Select the statement that is FALSE. There is no way through experiments or observations to falsify the hypothesis of an Intelligent Designer. ID assumes that each molecular machinery is built from scratch, which is not true; existing proteins are often re-used. OID and evolution are both valid hypotheses, but over the years we have found more evidence pointing toward evolution. O ID assumes that systems are irreducibly complex, and that individual components cannot be removed, even though several examples exist of 'irreducibly complex' systems being reduced. en 0 3 $ 35 % ^ 6 18 & * 8 9 44 Indoor Playground with wheelsarrow_forwardWhat does it mean when "Evolution is often circuitous rather than linear"?
