O Convergent Evolution O Divergent Evolution Homologous Structures O Adaptationarrow_forwardA farmer wants to make a better corn plant that produces more and bigger kernels. In the chart, information is provided on two ways organisms can change over time. Natural Selection Selective Breeding Humans are not involved in the evolution process Human intervention is involved More generations are involved in natural selection, so it is a slower process Selective breeding is a faster process Survival of the fittest increases species' chance for survival Adaptations may not necessarily improve survival Mutations that result in natural selection occur randomly The desirable charactenstics are artificially chosen What is the best way for the farmer to improve his crop and why? Use evidence from the table to support your reasoning. Please write in complete sentences.arrow_forwardBecause mass extinction is a natural process that may facilitate evolution during the period of thousands to millions of years that follow it, should humans be concerned about the current mass extinction we are causing? Why or why not?arrow_forward
