Darwin drew two inferences from two observations. Observation #1: Members of a population often vary in their inherited traits. Observation #2: All species can produce more offspring than the environment can support, and many of these offspring fail to survive and reproduce.
Which of the following are Darwin’s four observations?
The four key points of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution are: individuals of a species are not identical; traits are passed from generation to generation; more offspring are born than can survive; and only the survivors of the competition for resources will reproduce.
Which observations led Darwin to establish a relationship between extinct and living animals select all that apply?
Which observations led Darwin to establish a relationship between extinct and living animals? The bony shells of armadillos resembled the shells of ancient Glyptodon fossils. The fossilized remains of giant sloths were found in places where smaller sloths now live.
Which one of the following researchers developed a theory of evolution that was very similar to Charles Darwin’s?
Both are important observations that led to Darwin’s major inferences. Which one of the following researchers developed a theory of evolution that was very similar to Charles Darwin’s? Wallace sent Darwin a manuscript outlining a theory of natural selection that was very similar to Darwin’s.
Which theory was given by Lamarck?
Lamarckism, a theory of evolution based on the principle that physical changes in organisms during their lifetime—such as greater development of an organ or a part through increased use—could be transmitted to their offspring.
What is the raw material of evolution?
A mutation is a change in the sequence of an organism’s DNA. What causes a mutation? Mutations can be caused by high-energy sources such as radiation or by chemicals in the environment.
What evidence did Darwin and Lamarck not have?
Yet there were two fundamental gaps in his chain of evidence. First, Darwin had no knowledge of the mechanism of heredity. Second, he had no visible example of evolution at work in nature. It is a curious fact that both of these gaps could have been filled during Darwin’s lifetime.
What are the four parts of natural selection?
Darwin’s process of natural selection has four components.
- Variation. Organisms (within populations) exhibit individual variation in appearance and behavior.
- Inheritance. Some traits are consistently passed on from parent to offspring.
- High rate of population growth.
- Differential survival and reproduction.
What is Wallace’s theory of natural selection?
Wallace believed that Sulawesi is unique because most of the animals that live here are not found anywhere else on earth. He concluded that these animals had been on this island isolated from other species for a very long time, and slowly evolved into new species.
