Question
Chapter 23, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To list: The observations made by biologists that support the theory of evolution.
Introduction: Members of the species living in a particular area at a particular time which are capable of interbreeding are known as population. Populations change to produce new species over time. Evolution refers to the changes in characteristics of the population which are transferred over several generations through time.
Summary Introduction

Students have asked these similar questions
1) In one paragraph, explain in your opinion, Why do you think the Theory of Evolution is so controversial?
2) In one paragraph, explain in your opinion, discuss your own ideas and also those that you can find by researching online.
Discuss the validity of the statement “Evolution is an equal opportunity biological phenomenon”. Do you agree or disagree? Give examples that support or refute this statement.
In this activity, you will be creating a concept table of the theories of evolution. You will be given the names of nine scientists that have had an
impact on what we currently believe about evolution and you will explore their ideas and theories.
You will complete a table that follows the theories of evolution through time. Your table will include the following scientists:
• Linnaeus
• Hutton
• Lamarck
• Malthus
• Lyell
• Darwin
. Wallace
The table will include the name of the scientist, approximate dates, explanations of the concepts they explored, and the general theory or topic
they are credited with.
Below is the table you will fill in, with an example of what one part of the table might look like. Use the example to guide you with how much detail
is required and how in-depth your responses must be. Be sure to include the following key terms somewhere in vour table.
Key Terms: gradualism, catastrophism, taxonomy, use & disuse theory, paleontology, binomial nomenclature, evolution,…

- Charles Darwin came up with several original ideas in his 1859 publication The Origin of Species. Some of these ideas are now generally accepted, some are still hypothetical, some are conditional, and some are now believed to be incorrect. List several of his ideas (including at least one from each category), and explain why each of these ideas are either: (1) considered to be essentially correct, (2) considered to be hypothetical, (3) considered to be conditionally correct, or (4) considered to be incorrect.arrow_forwardIn this discussion, you will discuss the social issues related to evolutionary theory and its common misconceptions. One of the major social issues is how evolutionary theory should be taught. Some people think that evolution should be presented as one of many theories, including creationism. Other people think that evolution should be presented as the only explanation for the change in Earth’s species over time. What do you think? Use your scientific knowledge to support your position.arrow_forwardFind two cases in the media (internet, TV, etc.) of a person (organization, etc.) attempting to describe and example of the process of Darwinian evolution but is incorrectly describing the evolution process using a Lamarckian approach to evolution. Give the following information for both cases: Source (Where you found it) In what ways are they mistakenly claiming that the evolutionary process is an example of Darwinian evolution? How do you know that they are really describing evolution through a Lamarckian process, not a Darwinian process?arrow_forward
- List and describe at least five evidences for evolution. Use examples where possible?arrow_forwardIn the scientific competition against fixism what are the main arguments that favor evolutionism?arrow_forwardCompare and contrast Lamarckian and Darwinian theories of evolution. Give an example of each. Do not use any examples addressing: giraffes, elephants, birds or humans. Be detailed in your answerarrow_forward
- Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.” What did he mean by this? How does evolution unify the biological sciences? What other principles might do so?arrow_forwardLamarck proposed that evolution occurs through the following basic steps: Organisms are born with certain traits. Over the course of an organism's life, these traits gradually change due to pressures in the environment. The changes that occurred during an organism's life are passed on to its young. This idea is similar to current understandings of how evolution works, but it is not quite correct. Which of the following situations is a counterexample that disproves Lamarck's proposed pattern of how evolution occurs? A. Even though the ability to fly would be useful to snakes, snakes cannot spontaneously grow wings. B. Dolphins and whales have become hairless because the fast movement of the water removes all the hair. C. A person who is a championship bodybuilder does not have children who are naturally muscular at birth.arrow_forwardDarwin was the first person to note that evolutionary outcomes are probabilistic, meaning that they depend on the likelihood of outcomes rather than on certainties. Explain what this means in the context of Darwin’s theory of how evolution occurs? That is, how is Darwin’s theory is dependent upon the chances of a certain outcome and not on the absolute certainty of any particular outcome?arrow_forward
- 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. (From old pset1) Evidence Variation in domesticated species and breeding (artificial selection) Hierarchical classification (groups nested within groups) "Unity of type" - modification of the same basic structure (homology) Evident "fit" of organisms to environments (but imperfections) (adaptation) Structures without apparent function (vestigial structures) Similarity of organisms in early phases of development (embryology) Order in diversity through time in the fossil record (paleontology) Order in…arrow_forwardDefine evolution: What is decent with modification? Use Mosquitoes and DDT to explain natural selection. What does the term fitness mean in the context of evolution?arrow_forwardThe theory of evolution by Darwin is a composite theory, i.e. it has five component theories: 1. Evolution as such is the simple proposition that the characteristics of lineages of organisms change over time 2. Common descent is a radically different view of evolution than the scheme Lamarck proposed. Common descent is a concept in evolutionary biology applicable when one species is the ancestor of two or more species later in time. 3. Gradualism – Darwin’s proposition that the differences between even radically different organisms have evolved incrementally, by small steps through intermediate forms. The alternative to this theory, as discussed in later sections, is saltation with great reference to large differences that are believed to have evolved by leaps without intermediates. 4. Populational change – Darwin’s thesis that evolution occurs by changes in the proportions of individuals within a population that have different inherited characteristics. 5. Natural selection – Darwin’s…arrow_forward
