- The text explains that selective breeding involves breeding animals or plants for specific desirable traits. For example, humans bred different types of dogs to accomplish certain jobs. Farmers breed chickens for having meat and laying a greater amount of eggs. Cattle are often selectively bred either for more meat or for more milk production. The text also notes that breeding animals for size and strength interferes with natural animal processes. Based on this information presented in the text, who benefits from the traits different animals are bred for? a) humans breeding the animals b) the animals being bred by the humans c) both the humans breeding the animals and the animals being bred by the humans d) animals not being bred by humansarrow_forwardBefore Darwin’s theory of natural selection, others suggested inheritance of acquired/learned characteristics (for example some thought that giraffes stretched their necks longer during their lifetime and passed that trait on to their offspring).

- Review darwin's theory of natural selection. Write a 1-2 paragraph reflection explaining a) what you learn from the evidence of revolution and b.) The connections you made with what you learn about darwin's theory of natural selection and how meet mutations play an important role in the natural selection.arrow_forwardIdentifying genes like HMGA2 is important, because it is evidence of natural selection. How does it demonstrate that natural selection occurred in Darwin’s finches? Scientists mutate and modify the gene in the lab to see how changes might occur to the organism. Scientists identify different forms of the gene in individuals from the same species and observe how it shows up as a trait. Scientists study similar genes that also impact the same traits to see how they work together and influence one another. Scientists observe the frequency of the different forms of the gene and how it changes in response to the environment. Need some help on this one.arrow_forwardExplain the role of gene mutation in evolution.arrow_forward

- Darwin's concept of evolution "the theory of decent with modification through variation and natural selection" can best be demonstrated by which of the following examples? a. A giraffe stretches his neck to reach higher branches. The exercise of stretching up strengthens the muscles in the giraffe's neck and legs. This ability to stretch is also seen in the giraffe's offspring. b. A monkey accidentally drops her fruit in the salty water of a bay. She recovers the fruit and eats it. She discovers the fruit is cleaner and tastes better after it has been in the salty water. She continues to wash the fruit in the bay before eating it. Her offspring see what she has done and also wash their fruit in the salty water. Soon, the whole population of monkeys is washing their fruit. c. Several turtles hatch from a clutch of eggs buried in the sand on a beach. One of the turtles is the color of the sand; the others are darker in color. The turtles scurry toward the water,…arrow_forwardReview darwin's theory of natural selection. Write a paragraph reflection explaining a) what you learned from the evidence of revolution and b.)
