A skeptic of evolution asks the following question – “If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” Use your understanding of primate evolution to explain to this individual why their view of primate evolution is skewed. Reference examples.
What causes convergent evolution resulting in two species, distantly related from each other to have similar adaptations (such as birds and bats)? A Hybridization of two different species to produce an offspring with traits of both parents. B Similar environmental pressures Mutations Similarities in DNA
Tarsiers are one of the small species of primates generally found in tropical islands like Bohol, Philippines. Gibbons are small apes usually found in the forests of Southeast Asian regions. Chimpanzees are considered to be the highest form of "thinking organisms" on Earth. The theory of evolution asserts that these species evolved from a related ancestor. By observing the given figure. How will you support or reject the said claim?
Do you think it is important that all species be prevented from going extinct? Explain your reasoning. Also, there is a process called “de extinction” where scientist use DNA from an extinct species and genetically “recreate” that species. Do you think this is a good idea? Explain you reasoning. Describe four pieces of evidence used to support the theory of evolution.
Which assumption of cladistics is stated incorrectly? a. Living things are related by descent from a common ancestor. b. Speciation can produce one, two, or three new species. c. Traits change from one state to another. d. The polarity of a character state change can be determined.
Charles Darwin and Jean Baptide de Lamarck have different ideas of explaining evolution. Describe how each of them explained the evolution of long necks of giraffes. Justify whose idea is more acceptable in science community.
The tails of dolphins and whales are considered analogous to fish tails because ... Group of answer choices ⚠️A: they are the result of convergent evolution to a similar environment. B: they are not the result of a close ancestral relationship. C: No answers are true D: Both answers are true Please find the correct answer make sure option (A )is incorrect
Fossil Record Definition: Fossil record evidence for evolution is... How evidence supports evolution: This evidence shows that living things change over time (evolution) because... Real-World Example; An animal that you can see this evidence for evolution in is.. Picture/Diagram Sources
Explain the misconception on why the Theory of Evolution is deemed as "just a theory" rather than as a "scientific fact." How from simple apelike ancestors Homo Sapiens or the " Thinking Man" came into being.
Please refer to the given figure in answering the following questions: Forelimbs evolved into wings Four limbs(forelimb and hindlimb) evolved B А 1. The wings of a bat and bird are a product of evolution. 2. The bat, mouse, bird, and crocodile have derived from the common ancestor that doesn't have the initial traits or characters. 3. is considered an outgroup in ancestor B. 4. The bat and mouse, the bird and crocodile are called groups. 5. The evolution of four limbs is for bat, mouse, bird, and crocodile. Shark Ray-finned fish Bat Mouse Crocodile
Only when extensive genetic data became available were scientists able to definitively resolve the relationship between humans, chimpanzees and gorillas. Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve. Important point. Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve?? I don't really see that in your answer. I posted this question 3 times but answer given me wrong.
Give a Darwinian explanation of how cheetahs evolved to become faster. Your explanation is how natural selection works using Cheetahs as an example. Be sure to include andexplain the ideas of differential reproductive success and descent with modification. (You do not need to mention the formation of new species.)
