- Consider the following statements and indicate whether each presents an idea of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, of Charles Darwin or of both scientists. On the blank before the statement, write L for Lamarck, D for Darwin or B for both. _____ 1) An organism directs its own adaptations because of an inborn urge to be perfect (that is, to be better suited to the environment). _____ 2) Individuals do not evolve, but populations do. _____ 3) Individuals in a population exhibit variation in their traits, such that no two individuals are exactly alike. _____ 4) Many different kinds of living things are adapted to their environment. _____ 5) Members of a population who are better adapted to the environment have higher chances of survival and reproduction. _____ 6) Parents pass on their traits to their offspring. _____ 7) Species change gradually over many generations. _____ 8) Traits that an organism acquired during its lifetime can be transmitted to its offspring.arrow_forwardIt has taken millions of years for the ancestors of whales to change into what we know today, as indicated in the diagram below. Based on your knowledge of evolution, which of the following is a reasonable explanation of why the organisms in the diagram changed over 25 million years? Question options: As the environment changed the food sources became more difficult to obtain so characteristics that allowed the organisms to hunt in an aquatic environment became more advantageous. As the environment changed the temperature became too hot and the organisms began to move to a more aquatic environment to keep cool. As the environment changed the food sources became more difficult to obtain so the organisms decided to change their characteristics to ones that would be beneficial when hunting in an aquatic environment. As the environment changed the predators on land became better adapted to hunting the whales ancestors forcing them to live in more aquatic…arrow_forward*Define words *I don’t want pen & paper explanation photo( because I never understand the writing) *if you’re using pen & paper pls write clearly *Also short explanations pls tutor write too much explanationsarrow_forward
