natural selection is incorrect
State 5 facts and 3 inferences Darwin used to construct the theory of Natural Selection.
I'm confused I've listed overproduction, variation, and adaptation as the three inferences, but I do not know what to put for facts because what I've listed might belong under the facts category. Thanks!
One of the lines of evidence that led Darwin to the theory of natural selection was his study of artificial selection. Plant breeders and pigeon breeders select offspring with specific traits in mind beforehand.
a) However, since humans are an integral part of the natural world, do you think that artificial selection might be more appropriately termed “natural selection”? Why?

- The concepts of natural selection and evolution are central to how most biologists understand and interpret the world, and yet the theory of evolution is contrary to the beliefs of many religious groups. Why do you think this theory is so important to science and so strongly opposed by others? What evidence would be required to convince opponents of evolution?arrow_forwardhow can NATURAL SELECTION affect humans?arrow_forwardDarwin proposed natural selection as a mechanism for evolution. How is it similar to artificial selection? How is it different?For natural selection to work, there must be genetic variation within a population as well as mutations? Why must there be both?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is NOT an observation or inference on which natural selection is based? Group of answer choices Only a fraction of an individual’s offspring may survive. Species produce more offspring than the environment can support. There is heritable variation among individuals.
