### Early Earth's Conditions and the Origin of LifeThe conditions on early Earth were considered very harsh, with volcanoes, lightning discharges, radiation, etc. However, we still are able to conceive the possibility that life may have arisen and existed under such harsh primitive conditions. The existence of organisms in extreme environments such as high acidity, salt, temperatures, etc., even today supports the above possibility in conjunction with the theory of Darwinian evolution.**Question:**- True- False **Question:**DNA binds to proteins called histones. Based on your knowledge of DNA (negative charges along the phosphate backbones) and the classification of amino acids based on the properties of the side-chains, which two amino acids would you predict will be more frequently in histones than in other proteins?**Options:**1. Lys and Arg2. Asp and Glu3. Met and Cys4. Trp and Pro5. Gly and Pro

Histones are composed of mostly positively amino acid residues. The positive charges allow them to…

Scientists often talk about the evidence for evolution. Using the five types of evidence listed here, explain how each suggests the occurrence of evolution: 1) structural homologies, 2) molecular homologies, 3) developmental homologies, 4) fossils (general) and 5) transition fossils.
how do scientists support the theory of evolution? use the terms evolution, natural selection, vestigial structures, homologous structures, DNA, adaptations and fossil
Why is intelligent design (ID) a flawed argument? Select the statement that is FALSE. There is no way through experiments or observations to falsify the hypothesis of an Intelligent Designer. ID assumes that each molecular machinery is built from scratch, which is not true; existing proteins are often re-used. OID and evolution are both valid hypotheses, but over the years we have found more evidence pointing toward evolution. O ID assumes that systems are irreducibly complex, and that individual components cannot be removed, even though several examples exist of 'irreducibly complex' systems being reduced. en 0 3 $ 35 % ^ 6 18 & * 8 9 44 Indoor Playground with wheels
The theory of evolution has long been a part of the study of biology in its attempt to explain the diversity of different life forms. Why do you think has it not been elevated as a Law?
Scientists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey set up an experiment modeling the environmental conditions thought to exist during the early stages of Earth's formation. The setup of Miller and Urey's experiment is shown below. Which conclusion about the origin of life could be drawn from the potential results of this experiment? Life assembled from chemical building blocks. Life began when water vapor became electrified. Life evolved from the DNA of simple unicellular organisms. Life began when salt water caused a mutation in an ancient virus.
The theory of evolution is supported by a large body of evidence. What is the first occurrence of found in geologic strata?
Find two examples in the media (internet, TV, etc.) of someone (organization, etc.) erroneously portraying Darwinian evolution using a Lamarckian approach. For both, provide the following: Its origin How are they misrepresenting Darwinian evolution? How do you know they're talking about Lamarckian evolution, not Darwinian?
Scientists classify living things in order to organize the astonishing diversity of life on Earth. Modern scientists base their classifications mainly on molecular similarities. They group together organisms that have similar proteins and DNA. Molecular similarities show that organisms are related. In other words, they are descendants of a common ancestor in the past. As we said earlier in our discussion, there are species that needs to be named and some are to be discovered. However, with the current environmental situation we have at the present (pollution, exploitation of resources, forest fires, and others), these species that are yet to be identified are being endangered and at the verge of extinction. As a matter of fact, the University of Turku reported last July 1, 2020 that there are 15 million estimated different species living in our planet but 2 million of them are currently known to science. Discovering these remaining species is important for them to be protected. Also,…
Which of the following statements regarding evolution is FALSE? evolution is a relatively slow process Oall of these statements are TRUE evolution operates at a variable speed transitional forms appear during periods of rapid evolutionary change evolution operates over the course of multiple generations
Most of the time, evolution seems to do a pretty good job of turning out living organisms with adaptations that help them survive and thrive. But sometimes it doesn’t entirely seem to make sense, or intriguing at the very least. In other words, evolution can fall well short of perfection. Add to the images above at least 2 examples of such "mistakes of evolution." Briefly explain how evolution screwed up in each case. References:
ln three to five sentences, construct an argument for the claim that natural selection leads to evolution. Provide evidence for this claim, and be sure to explain how an organism shows the four parts of the process of natural selection. You may use any organism with the exception of bacteria and antibiotic resistance.
EVOLUTION LINK Write short paragraphs explaining each of the following statements: (a) Natural selection chooses from among the individuals in a population those most suited to current environmental conditions. It does not guarantee survival under future conditions. (b) Individuals do not evolve, but populations do. (c) The organisms that exist today do so because their ancestors had traits that allowed them and their offspring to thrive. (d) At the molecular level, evolution can take place by the replacement of one nucleotide by another. (e) Evolution is said to have occurred within a population when measurable genetic changes are detected.
