Out of the three, what would be an example of evolution? A population of green beetles changes over many generations to a population of brown beetles. Individual green beetles in a population become brown because of what they are eating. The environment where a population of green beetles is living changes, becoming much more cold over time.

It 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…
Which of the following statements about evolution is incorrect? Evolution occurs through natural selection Evolution is a gradual process that occurs over time in populations. Evolution is a goal-oriented process that aims to create perfect organisms designed to handle what the future environment might throw at it. Evolution is influenced by genetic variation within populations
Which one of the following statements is true? Multiple Choice Organisms always evolve the characteristics they need to survive. Some individuals within the population must die for natural selection to occur. Darwin used molecular biology as evidence of evolution. Natural selection can only work on variation that already exists. Convergent evolution produces homologous structures.
Biological evolution is defined as a change in the of a species over time. survival rate genetic makeup number of individuals number of offspring
Life on earth has lasted an estimated 3.5 billion years, experiencing different environmental change like extreme heat and ice age. But living organisms on Earth have their seasons, and all living things will be wiped out eventually. Having learned about the different type of evidence used to proved evolution, hypothesize how human beings will adapt in the next five years. Direction: List down five adaptation that our species may develop in order to continue surviving on Earth. Explain each adapation.
. The images below show two separate theories of how organisms evolve. Which question below directly corresponds to whether Lamarck or Darwin are correct about their theories of the mechanisms of evolution? Why don’t the shorter neck giraffes feed on grasses and lower vegetation? How would the shorter necked giraffes in Lamarck’s theory survive to reproduce and pass on the “need” for longer necks if they were unable to reach food? Why won’t the taller necked giraffes in Darwin’s theory provide assistance to the shorter giraffes since they are the same species? Will the smaller giraffes be more adapted to hide from predators since they wouldn’t be visible from greater distances?
In which of the following scenarios would evolution by natural selection take place? A banana tree branch is planted, producing a clone of the parent tree Microorganisms reproduce asexually, producing identical offspring Corn is genetically modified and cloned to make identical crops Penguins reproduce sexually, producing offspring that look different from one another
Which of the following is the best definition of a major transition in evolution? Individuals evolve traits the help them fight off rivals Formerly independent replicating individuals form a collective that reproduces together A group of individuals evolve traits that help them individually forage better Individuals evolve traits that allow them to colonize a new environment.
Of the 500 eggs produced by a particular frog, only 10% developed into adult frogs. Which part of Darwin’s theory does this best illustrate? favorable mutations are not inherited. mutations occur by chance. there is a struggle for survival among organisms. populations are not stable.
Which statement about natural selection is true? Natural selection only happens to animals. Natural selection produces animals fit for their environment. Evolution causes natural selection. Natural selection produces animals that are faster and stronger.
Which of the following best describes natural selection? O It is a guess made by scientists about how life develops, but it has no hard evidence to support it. It is the idea that the strong survive and the weak die off. It is the idea that organisms with genetic traits that improve their ability to reproduce are more likely to pass those traits on to future generations. It is the idea that organisms naturally increase in complexity and intelligence with time.
Look carefully at the picture below and you will see an insect called a katydid. Katydids evolved from grasshoppers through natural selection. Use this to explain how could have this happened.
