Vhy was natural selection controversial to biologists in Darwin's time? A) It was a cruel and unfair principle as to why species change. It went against the religious beliefs of the time. There was no evidence that descent with modification during Darwin's time. He had no explanation for how advantageous traits were passed from parent to offspring.

What is the difference between evolution, natural selection, and artificial selection? A. Evolution is a genetic change in a population over time which can occur through natural selection. Artificial selection is the differential reproduction of individuals in a population to promote the characteristics chosen by the breeder.   B. Natural selection is the change of allele frequencies in a population over time.  Evolution leads to differential survival and reproduction of individuals. Artificial selection has produced domesticated animals and plants.   C. Evolution is a mechanism of artificial selection.  Natural selection is a form of artificial selection in which nature selects the characteristics that are most beneficial to a species.   D. Artificial selection is a mechanism of evolution and is the main process of domesticating animals and plants for human use.  Natural selection is the same as evolution.

can you describe an example of natural selection? your example can be real or imaginary. just be sure to tell us whether it is true or not!

Is natural selection only a negative process that removes nonadapted and lesser adapted forms? Explain your answer.

Darwin was not the first to propose a mechanism for evolution. Lamarck proposed “acquired inheritance” in which individuals inherit those traits acquired in the lifetime of their parents (e.g., long necks). Compare Lamark’s mechanism to Darwin’s mechanism for evolution (descent with modification). As part of your answer describe how each theory is similar to the other and how each is different? Finally, Lamarck’s theory can be easily shown to be unworkable (e.g., amputees don’t have babies that are amputees meaning babies don’t inherit the acquired trait). What makes Darwin’s theory workable when compared to Lamarck’s unworkable theory.

Darwin believed in Natural Selection as the major explanation for evolution.  Explain how the following organisms’ interactions contribute to this theory. 1. How did organisms Have Heritable Variation help with his theory? 2. How did Organisms Compete for Resources help with his theory?

according to darwin,natural selection occurs because-
