caused by radiation or toxic chemicals. The second is Natural selection. Natural selection is the biological characteristics that enhance survival‚ they will increase in frequency from generation to generation. Fitness has a lot to do with Natural selection. Fitness is the ability for an offspring to survive and of course reproduce ‚ therefore giving it’s genotypes to the next generation. There are four basic principles within Natural selection. There is variation‚ heritable‚ populations may have

I’ll take puddles over cancer any day.” Tell me as much as you can about this passage as an argument (especially the parts). p1. Sun will bring skin cancer. p2. Rain will bring puddles that we can jump. p3: Pain is bad‚ joy is good. If a thing causes more good things than bad things‚ then it is better. p4:

Likewise‚ many species have showed great skill of survival. Let’s use humans‚ for example; we are part of the endotherm family; naturally we generate heat within our bodies‚ and we eliminate heat‚ when we sweat. This skill helps us to run longer distances‚ when our prey can’t. Natural selection works for all sorts of species. Even the behavior of

When I think of evolution‚ I tend to think in terms of a series of what I call happy accidents. A creature through a series of genetic mutations is born with an attribute which fits well with its habitat thus providing it with an advantage over others of its kind. This advantage in turn makes the creature hardier than its compatriots leading to increased chances for survival and‚ perhaps‚ better selection of mates. This uniquely equipped animal then breeds and its new trait is passed on to some

Evolution Lab The finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands feed on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds‚ produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness‚ produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds‚ produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. Evolution Lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits–characteristics of an individual

Pervious studies focused on natural selection by predation being a strong contributing factor of polymorphic color distribution in a population. While there is some truth in this model‚ it may overlook the importance that sexual selection plays‚ as will be depicted in the following examples. Many examples demonstrate that animals in a particular species tend to mate with individuals that share similar color patterns‚ in fact it is rare to see individuals with dissimilar color patterns mate.

Starlings produce an average of five eggs in each clutch. If there are more than five‚ the parents cannot adequately feed the young. If there are fewer than five‚ predators may destroy the entire clutch. This is an example of a. disruptive selection. b. stabilizing selection. c. directional selection. d. none of the above. 4

______________________ LAB ____. ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION In our studies of the anatomy and development of animals we have discovered that many living creatures that look quite different on the surface have similarities underneath their skin that suggest that they are related to each other. This is evidence that living creatures have evolved‚ or gradually changed over time. In this lab‚ you will learn about homologous‚ analogous‚ and vestigial structures and their value as evidence for evolution. INSTRUCTIONS

that’s changed; It’s all living things. This change over time or ‘development’ is called evolution. Evolution is the change of (heritable) traits in different organisms over time. If you’re thinking apes becoming humans you’re already wrong. There’s even evidence of evolution like fossils‚ DNA samples‚ similarities in bone structure‚ and even vestigial organs. The purpose of this lab is to see how evolution works and whether it is a reliable theory. Hypothesis: If there are 11 skulls that all have
