How is evolution by natural selection thought to work?
Evolution Basics
Which of the following things are likely to cause evolution in a population? Try to keep all causes of evolution in mind.
The thickness in fur coat for particular small mammal is determined by the average temperature in its environment. Over time, the environment gets warmer.
A mutation introduces a new wing color in a group of butterflies.
A flood washes away 3/4 of a population of ground squirrels.
Individuals migrate between 2 populations that have the same gene pool.
Within a lizard population, there is genetic variation in the length of the tail. The neighborhood cats chase the lizaards, and have an easier time catching the ones with long
tails.
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.

Figure 18-18 Differences in DNA nucleotide sequences as evidence of evolutionary relationships Comparing the same gene in different organisms provides a window into evolution. Here the differences in the non-protein-coding region of the -globin gene are compared between humans and other primates.

A The strongest and fastest organisms of a species survive and reproduce. Organisms born with with beneficial adaptations pass these adaptations on to future generations.

Then what if each time beans (the prey) were captured, they had to be immediately emptied into a narrow-necked jar (with an opening about the size of 1 teaspoon)? What do you think the outcome of the experiment might be in this new situation? (Which “predator” will be the most successful, which the next most, etc. down to the least successful, and why?)

(Select all that apply.) 80 A Check All That Apply Moths that could smell the nectar at the bottom of the orchid saw the need for a longer tongue, so they grew one that reached the nectar and passed on the longer tongue to their offspring. Moths that could smell the nectar at the bottom of the orchid mated with females that had longer tongues so that their offspring might have a chance to reach the nectar At least one moth species has always been able to reach the nectar of the orchid. Moths with longer tongues are more likely to have access to the orchid nectar and are therefore more likely to survive to reproduction. 000 F4 Orchids with deeper nectaries are more likely to have moths rub against their pollen, and are therefore more likely to reproduce than orchids with shallow nectaries. % Saved 8 F7 DII FB F9 what does evolution ofarrow_forwardLet's Analyze.
