(A) Species diversity declines farther from the equator.
(B) Fewer species live on islands than on the nearest continents.

Evaluate the following statements about seeds from two biology textbooks:
I. The seed coat is an adaptation that protects the plant embryo from damage, water loss, and infection.
II. Evolution has come up with a clever solution for protecting plant embryos: seed coats that prevent damage, water loss, and infection.
Do these statements accurately represent the evolution of seeds?
a) Yes, both statements are accurate.
b) No, neither statement is accurate.
c) Only the first statement is accurate.
The above image shows four different finches that Charles Darwin found while on the Galapagos Islands. This information led Darwin to develop the idea that organisms change, or evolve, over time. Which of these would best describe what Darwin saw as the MAJOR difference(s) between these finches?
A) They all ate different food
B) They all lived in different areas
C) Both where they lived and what they ate were different
D) Only their beak size was different and they lived together and ate the same food.

- In lecture we discussed eight (8) lines of evidence that Darwin used to lay out his argument for the fact of evolution in his book On the Origin of Species (1859). Using your materials from lecture and the last chapter of the "Origin" that we read for section, 1) rank order these lines of evidence based on what you find the most to the least compelling. 2) Be sure to describe each of these lines of evidence and 3) discuss how they are, or not, relevant in the early 21st century.

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 placearrow_forwardHow might an understanding of evolutionary processes help a biologist doing research in (a) the development of a new antibiotic to replace one towhich bacteria have become resistant?
