Concept explainers
To determine: The family which produces more descendants by the year 2000 among the two families.
Introduction: There are two families given in this case, parents of one family were born in the year 1900 and have twins at the age of 20 and the similar behavior was followed by their children and grandchildren. Similarly, parents of another family were also born in 1900 and undergo delayed reproduction until the age of 33 and finally have triplets. Children and grandchildren of the second family also followed the same behavior as their parents.
To determine: The conclusion about the two families.

Check out a sample textbook solution- (Steps to 1 question) 1.Explain the difference between the popular and scientific use of the word 'theory.' What is the relationship between a 'fact' and a 'theory' according to Gould 2.List and explain the three reasons that Gould and other scientists can feel 'confident' that evolution occurred. 3.How does Gould feel about Scientific Creationists, and what does he suggest be done by scientists? What do you think about his perspective? 4. there are six big events in human evolution. Which of these do you feel is the most significant and why? 5. What are your thoughts on the compatibility of science and religion? Is there any way to make religion more scientific, or science more spiritual? if so, would that be a good idea?

Darwin's Theory Warm-Up Active Developing the Theory of Evolution WARM-UP What was Charles Darwin's contribution to the theory of evolution? O Charles Darwin was the first to express the belief that all living things are related. Charles Darwin believed that organisms had a goal to adapt and did so through the inheritance of acquired traits. Charles Darwin introduced the idea that organisms better adapted to their environment would tend to survive, reproduce, and increase in number. Charles Darwin developed the theory of population growth. DONE O Intro Activity DII 96 2, or goarrow_forward3arrow_forward
