Introduction:
In 1831, HMS Beagle set sail from England for Maderia and then proceeded to South America. The main mission of the ship was to survey the coast of South America. Darwin’s roles on the ship were of a naturalist and companion to the captain. His main job was to collect biological and geological specimens during the ship’s travels.
Answer to Problem 4A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option A. Earth and life are recent and have remained unchanged
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option A. Earth and life are recent and have remained unchanged −When Darwin took a voyage on the HMS Beaglein 1831 , people believed that earth was only 6000 years old. Almost everyone including young Darwin believed that plants and animals were unchanging.
Hence, this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option B. Species evolved rapidly during the first six thousand to a few hundred thousand years−When Darwin took a voyage on the HMS Beagle in 1831, people believed that earth was only 6000 years old. Almost everyone including young Darwin believed that plants and animals were unchanging. Hence, this is not the correct option.
Option C. Earth is billions of years old, but species have not evolved- When Darwin took a voyage on the HMS Beagle in 1831 , people believed that earth was only 6000 years old. Almost everyone including young Darwin believed that plants and animals were unchanging. Hence, this is not the correct option.
Option D. Species have evolved on earth for billions of years−When Darwin took a voyage on the HMS Beagle in 1831, people believed that earth was only 6000 years old. Almost everyone including young Darwin believed that plants and animals were unchanging. Hence this is not the correct option.

- Awnser these Discussion Questions Answer these discussion questions and submit them as part of your lab report. Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body? Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution. At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why does changing the pH affect the enzyme activity? Research the enzyme catalase. What is its function in the human body? What is the optimal pH for the following enzymes found in the human body? Explain. (catalase, lipase (in your stomach),…arrow_forwardAnwser these Discussion Questions: Part One Why were the plants kept in the dark prior to the experiment? Why is this important?
