- 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.The above image shows four different finches that Charles Darwin found while on the Galapagos Islands. This information led Darwin to develop the idea that organisms change, or evolve, over time. Which of these would best describe what Darwin saw as the MAJOR difference(s) between these finches? A) They all ate different food B) They all lived in different areas C) Both where they lived and what they ate were different D) Only their beak size was different and they lived together and ate the same food. Not GradedAnswer the following: This spectacular animal is a Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisea minor, from the highlands of Papua New Guinea. In the context of various evolutionary phenomena, why do you suppose: (a) This bird is confined to New Guinea and two nearby islands? Why would you not expect to find it in the mountains of Borneo? Explain in detail. (b) This spectacular tail presumably attracts predators; why hasn't natural selection acted to reduce it or camouflage it? Explain in detail.
- Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior. (1) there is variation among individuals; (2) some of that variation is heritable; (3) there is always competition between individuals for resources; (4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring; (5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.Consider figure 22.4. The following statements are true. Choose all applicable options. a) According to Lamarck, some fish species had to develop legs so that they could walk on land. This feature was passed on to the next generation. b) According to Darwin and Wallace’s model, the fish species improved by acquiring legs that permit walking on land. c) According to Lamarck, all the shown species were created independently and do not change over time. d) Darwin and Wallace proposed that some individual fish changed overtime to achieve higher fitness. Such improved features were passed on to the next generation.describe at least one reason why Darwin was right and Lamarck was wrong when it came to explaining evolution, using giraffes to explain your reasoning.
- 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.Explain why the statement “Humans evolved from monkeys” is incorrect.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.)
- A farmer spends much of her time outdoors. As a result, her skin has become very tanned. What would Lamarck predict about her children? What would Darwin predict about her children? Who would be correct, and explain why? Can you help me guys with short answer?According to Lamarck’s theory of evolution, organisms change during their lifetime to survive then pass these changes to their offspring. What supports the hypothesis of Lamarck? a. Webbed toes of ducks to quickly move through the water, retractile claws of carnivorous mammals to catch the prey, millipede producing awful smell for self-defense and evolution of short-necked to long-necked giraffe b. Evolution of short-necked to long-necked giraffe, webbed toes of ducks to quickly move through the water, disappearance of limbs in snakes and retractile claws of carnivorous mammals to catch the prey c. Rattlesnake producing venom against predators, jellyfish bioluminescence for intraspecific communication chameleons camouflage to hide from predators and millipede producing awful smell for self-defense d. Disappearance of limbs in snakes, chameleons camouflage to hide from predators, evolution of short-necked to long-necked giraffe and rattlesnake…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 and explain the ideas of differential reproductive success and descent with modification. (You do not need to mention the formation of new species.)
