Question
Chapter 17, Problem 9IMT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The major theme that is evident and explains the relation of the major theme with the statement.
Introduction:
The animals are evolved from a common ancestor, but all the animals differ from each other. This leads to a vast diversity of animals on this planet. The diversification of the animals does not occur instantly, the diversifying factor goes on passing through the generations until it got incorporated in the genes.

Lecture 2
This 17th-century map shows the Earth at the
center of the solar system.
• Ideas generated out of the Scientific
Revolution challenged such long-standing
beliefs.
• Aristotle argued that the sun and the planets
revolved around the earth.
George-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788), recognized the
dynamic relationship between the external environment and living forms.
• Although he never discussed the diversification of life over time, he recognized
that different regions have different plants and animals and that alterations of the
external environment (such as climate) were agents of change.
• Some scientists today (Ernst Mayr) credit Leclerc as the “father of evolutionism
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck developed a theory to explain the evolutionary
process, known as the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
• An example is the giraffe: having stripped the leaves from the lower branches of
a tree,…
Which of the following steps has not yet been accomplished byscientists studying the origin of life?(A) synthesis of small RNA polymers by ribozymes(B) formation of molecular aggregates with selectivelypermeable membranes(C) formation of protocells that use DNA to direct thepolymerization of amino acids(D) abiotic synthesis of organic molecules
Part 1: Use this image to describe the relationship between H, F. and D, including how closely they are related to each other, and determine the most recent common ancestor for these species.
Part 2: Using the above image, estimate how long ago the common ancestor for H, F, and D lived.
Part 3: Of species H, F, and D, which have gone extinct without producing any evolutionary descendants? Provide evidence to support your answer.

Even though organisms tend to be of same species, they exhibit different feature or characteristic which is brought about by their adaptation at a certain condition; thus, evolution is dependent on the specific environmental condition the organisms are living in, as well as can be specific to a particular species. Which among the distinguishing characteristics of living organisms explains this? 1.2. All organisms experience environmental pressure which threatens their…arrow_forwardSelect 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.arrow_forward

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.arrow_forward
