Chapter 1, Problem 9TYPSS

Why are alternative scientific theories to evolution not taught in public school? a. more theories would confuse students b. there are no viable scientific alternatives c. it is against the law d. alternative scientific theories are suppressed by the science establishment

Elaborate Darwin's and Lamarck's theories on evolution in terms of putting its MAIN IDEA, SUPPORTING EVIDENCE, and CRITICISMS in a table.

Select ALL that apply: According to Darwin, which condition(s) must be satisfied for evolution by natural selection to occur? Favourable traits arise in response to a change in the environment Variation in traits exists between individuals Traits are inherited between parents and offspring Differences in reproductive success exist between individuals

DON'T EXPLAIN, JUST GIVE THE ANSWER According to Charles Darwin, organic evolution is "descent with modification," which simply means   Select one: A. inherited variations decline as reproductive potential is modified. B. characteristics acquired during the lifetime of an individual are passed on to all descendants of the individual. C. the fittest always impose change on the less fit. D. populations change over time.

Darwin put together several pieces of information when formulating his theory of evolution. Which of the following is/are not part of that information? Choose All That Apply Natural populations of organisms display variable phenotypes Natural populations tend to produce more offspring then the environment can support Individuals within a population can pass on traits acquired during their lives to their offspring Organisms tend to be uniquely adapted to the environments in which they are found Each individual in a population is equally likely to survive and produce offspring

It is true that many scientists are religious in nature and have found a way to reconcile evolution with their faith?

Evolution has two core principles: Natural selection and A Survival of the Fittest Descent with Modification Mutations D Genetics

Provide a scientific example of evolution and/or natural selection. You can use human and/or animal examples. Describe how the animal/species developed an advantage over time or what the evolutionary process was.

Charles Darwin was the first person to propose Group of answer choices a mechanism for how evolution occurs that evolution occurs 2. a way to use artificial selection as a means of domesticating plants and animals 3. that the Earth is older than a few thousand years 4. a mechanism for evolution that was supported by evidence
