Address (don’t just say “true” or “false”) the following myths about evolution. Limit your answers to 1-2 sentences each:
a. Evolution tells us how life began
b. Evolution says animals do things for the good of their species.
c. If evolution were true, they would call it a fact, not a theory.

Microevolution is defined as
all the answers are correct
evolutionary changes on a grand scale
new forms replacing old forms
changes in gene frequencies that result in subtle changes in a population
EVOLUTION CONNECTION In 1847, the German biologistChristian Bergmann noted that mammals and birds livingat higher latitudes (farther from the equator) are on averagelarger and bulkier than related species found at lower latitudes.Suggest an evolutionary hypothesis to explain this observation

Asap. Thanks Imagine a population of cacti living on an imaginary island called Plantopia. These cacti evolved to stop producing spines because there are no herbivores on Plantopia. Every year, a few cactus seeds are washed onto the shores of Plantopia from the mainland. There are many large herbivores on the mainland. (Tip: Try drawing the scenario to help you visualize it.) Name three mechanisms of evolutionary change ( 3 of mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, andgene flow.) that may be acting on alleles for spine production on Plantopia. For each mechanism, explain what effect it may have on spine production, and whether this change is adaptive or non-adaptive.arrow_forwardOrganisms keep on evolving including human beings, how do you picture out the world would be 50 years from now?

However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs.

Personally speaking, what “islands of nature” exist in the city/county where you live? Identify some specific examples and describe the land uses that surround these islands.arrow_forward
