Question
Chapter 22, Problem 10TYPSS
Summary Introduction
To review:
The theory of the evolution by natural selection to fulfill these six criteria.
(1) They explain otherwise puzzling observations;
(2) They provide connections between otherwise disparate observations;
(3) They make predictions that can be tested; and
(4) They are heuristic, meaning that they open up new avenues of theory and experimentation. Crow added two other elements of scientific theories that he considered important on a personal, emotional level.
(5) They should be elegant, in the sense of being simple and powerful;
(6) They should have an element of surprise
Introduction:
The theory of the evolution was first formulated in 1859 and it was defined as a process through which the organism alters over a period of time due to the result of changes in the heritable traits (physical or behavioral).

Scientists are now turning their attention to using gene transfer technology to nutritionally enhance animal foods.
