Textbook Question
Chapter 19.1, Problem 2CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Scientific hypotheses must be testable (see Concept 1.3). Applying this criterion, are Cuvier’s explanation of the fossil record and Lamarck’s hypothesis of evolution scientific? Explain your answer in each case.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: EVOLUTION In a short essay(100–150 words), discuss Darwin’s view of how natural selectionresulted in both unity and diversity of life on Earth. Includein your discussion some of his evidence. (For help in writinggood essays, see “Writing Tips and Rubric” in the Study Area ofMasteringBiology under “Additional Resources.”)
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization You have seenmany examples of how form fits function at all levels of thebiological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.
