    difficulty cracking the bigger seeds. This is exactly what our lab was testing. Darwin had a theory that organisms that can adapt better to their environment are more likely to reproduce, obtain food, survive better, and pass on their traits to their offspring; this theory is called natural selection. Natural selection allows

    to whether support turning around the disease on the insect, Hillary Rosner from the New York Times mentions “Biotechnologists have engineered the mosquito that spreads the Zika virus to pass a lethal gene to its offspring” (par 1), which then leads to wiping out the insect's offspring to stop the spread of the

    Rationale and Significance Since Darwin published his theory of evolution, cooperation in organisms from bacteria to humans has been a difficult dilemma in evolutionary theory. Even Darwin did not fully understand how altruistic acts in organisms fit into the natural selection theory. Natural selection theory states that an individual that has inherited a trait that gives them a better chance at surviving, will be naturally selected for. An explanation as to why a trait that causes an individual

    of today because the adaptation to the environment was not the only force acting to the change (Marks, p 27). In the other side, biological adaptation changed humans’ genetics drastically from their ancestor and parents, for every gene flow the offspring were different with different genotype and phenotype. In other words, nature selects and builds individuals more adaptable to the changing environment. According to Mr. Marks heredity is not a clone and is due to that powerful differentiation that

    accepted theory of evolution is natural selection, which is the “process where an environmental factor acts on a population and results in some organisms having more offspring than others (Linstead, 2012).” Other forms of selection include artificial selection, which occurs when people

    Summary Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. According to history, Charles Darwin is the first scientist to frame the theory of evolution by natural selection. It was publish in his book title "On the Origin of Species 1859”. Darwin express the theory of evolution by natural selection as a process by which species change over a period of time. This change take place because of the changes in genetic and behavioral traits. The ability of the organisms to change over time or adjust to fit environmental

    rejected. In the F2 the gender of the flies were irrelevant to figure out the genotype. This is all because of the father fly. The father in this cross was a homozygous recessive individual for both the genes on the X chromosome and so all his female offspring will either be heterozygous or homozygous recessive at each gene. The males on the other hand only receive their X chromosome from the mother (father provides their Y chromosome) so all the alleles for these
