Lamarck was a French naturalist that proposed that the evolution of species was from very simple matter to more and more complex till it reached its divine. He said that no species died, but instead they totally changed to another species. This hypothesis was proposed earlier then current evolution; then, Darwin went on a voyage on which he discovered a lot about life and evolution from observing many species. He suggested that species adapted to the change in environment by the increase of individuals with traits more suitable to the environment. The change happens to the population that was affected by these specific circumstances.  *1 pointWhat Darwin did was deductive reasoningWhat Darwin did was inductive reasoningWhat Darwin did was a try to falsify LamarckWhat Darwin did was completing what Lamarck did

How did Lamarck contribute to the theory of evolution?Group of answer choicesHe discovered genetic mutation through experiments with pea plants.He proposed the concept of natural selection after his voyage to the Galapagos Islands and his study of finches.He proposed the first serious model of how traits are passed on from parent to offspring through inheritance of acquired characteristics, though that idea turned out to be incorrect.He proposed a concept known today as gene flow.

What did Lamarck study extensively in his attempts to explain evolution?a. Mammals with leathery shellsb. Invertebrates and insectsc. Birds with different beak shapesd. Fossils of ancient animals

Because he was well aware of the effect his theory of evolution would have on the public and on the Church of England, Darwin delayed publishing his work for several decades while he gathered additional evidence. After invoking selective breeding of domesticated species as evidence that groups of organisms are capable of change, he then proposed that natural populations can change as well. On which two lines of evidence did he base this proposal?Group of answer choicesOrganisms within a population vary, and all populations produce more offspring than can be supported by the environment, resulting in competition for survival within the population.Organisms produce more offspring than can be supported by their environment, and adaptations to specific environments increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce.Some individuals leave more descendants than other individuals, but the individuals in a population are essentially identical to each other.Some individuals within a population have greater survivability and reproductive success than others, and favorable traits within a population will accumulate over generations.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. He was a biologist whose famous theory of evolution is important to philosophy for the effect it has had on ideas relating to the nature of men. After many years of careful study, Darwin attempted to show that higher species came into existence as a result of the gradual transformation of lower species and that the process of transformation could be explained through the selective effect of the natural environment upon organisms. He concluded that the principles of natural selection and survival of the fittest govern all life. Darwin’s explanation of these principles is that because of the food supply problem, the young of any species compete for survival. Those young that survive to produce the next generation tend to embody favourable natural changes that are passed on by heredity. His major work that contained these theories is On the Origin of the Species, written in 1859. Many religious opponents condemned this work.Q.    According to the passage, how was Darwin’s book, On the Origin of the Species, received? Question 23Answera.Religious opponents condemned Darwin’s book. b.The world ignored Darwin’s book. c.Scientists gave their immediate approval of Darwin’s book.d.Darwin’s book became an immediate bestseller

In his book On the Origin of the Species, Charles Darwin described how species change over time. Which of the following is NOT part of his observations that describes the mechanisms of natural selection? Group of answer choicesDisease and natural disaster will limit population growth.Species today descended with modifications from ancestral species.Organisms produce more offspring than can survive.Organisms with advantages will survive and reproduce.
