What organism did Vries used as evidence to prove that species did change as Darwin said? * evening primrose pea plant mice fly According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, individuals who survive are the ones best adapted for their environment. Their survival is due to the? * Competing for food and mate Competing with other species Possession of inherited adaptations that maximize fitness Adaptation to their habitat It is Lamarck's theory that says changes happened during the lifetime of parents will be passed to the offspring. * Theory of Use and Disuse Theory of Evolution Theory of Need Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Traits

« > A Moving to another question will save this response. Charles Darwin was the first person to propose: That the earth is older than a few thousand years. O A mechanism for how evolution occurs. A mechanism for evolution that was supported by evidence A way to use artificial selection as means for domesticating animals and plants.
uestion 4 n Darwin's mind, the origin of species is inextricably linked to the extinction of species. Why? O New species are better adapted than older species. New species are much better predators than older species. New species kill off the old species. So as new species form, old species are killed off. O New species are better adapted than older species. New species outcompete older forms, causing them to go extinct. So as new species form, old species naturally disappear. O New species mate with older species. This mating merges the two species together. So as new species form, older species merge into them and disappear. O No answer text provided.
Which scenario would be a moder nexample of Lamarckianismm? A strain of houseflies resistant to insecticides emrges Squirrels separated by a river are found to be unable to interbreed Snails are found to have thicker shells generations after the introduction of a predator A son is bornw ith a portion of his right index finger mssing -- the same portion that was severed from his father's hand in an accident.
House sparrows (Maya) were introduced to North America in 1852. Since that time thesparrows have evolved different characteristics in different locations. Sparrow populations inthe north are larger-bodied than sparrow populations in the south. This divergence inpopulations is probably at least partly a result of natural selection: larger-bodied birds canoften survive lower temperatures than smaller-bodied birds can. Colder weather in the northmay select for larger-bodied birds. What type of evolution based on natural selectionaccounts for this observation? Explain your answer.
Charles Lyell's contribution to evolution is the idea that: O the earth is more than 6,000 years old O species evolve O natural selection is the mechanism of evolution there will always be a shortage of resources

A powerful windstorm moves through a densely populated white oak forest. The oaks in this forest have either smooth or rough bark. The storm randomly knocks down 50% of the white oak trees. The remaining oaks grow and produce seeds that germinate and fill in spaces in the forest. All of the new oaks have smooth bark. Which of these processes is described in this example? O genetic drift O natural selection O mass extinction O geographic isolation
The capsids of some, but not all viruses are surrounded by A membranous envelope OA protein spore coat RNA DNA
Which observation is NOT an evidence for Darwin's theory of common descent? O There are biogeographic patterns in the distributionof species, for instance distinct bird species on an island tend to resemble. O There are common stages in the early embryological development of organisms representing several distinct vertebrate groups. O Anatomical structures, such as forelimbs, in different groups appear to be modified versions of structures that might have been present in a common ancestor. O Due to innate drive to improve, parts that are extensively used becomes larger and stronger and passed on to the next generation as seen on fossil records.
Why was Lyell's concept of uniformitarianism, which proposed that the Earth had been going through gradual geological changes over a much longer period of time than previously believed, important for the development of Darwin's ideas about natural selection? Geological catastrophes can reform the landscape and open new niches into which species can adapt and thrive It provided another argument against the Church's explanation for the creation of Earth It explained how vast mountain ranges could form to separate populations It explained the presence of fossils for species that no longer existed An old Earth provides enough time for the gradual process of evolution to take place
