The process of biological evolution often allows humans to survive consistent environmental stresses that occur across multiple

generations. As humans colonized Earth's diverse environments, they encountered hot, dry areas and decided to settle. What trait likely offered an advantage in this environment?

Answer:

The ability to produce sweat to cool their bodies.

Explanation:

Evolution may be defined as the change in the the characteristics of the species with respect to time. The process of the natural selection plays an important role in evolution.

As the humans are living in hot and dry areas, this allow the change in their physiology and genes that help them to survive according to the environment. The humans produce more sweat. They have well developed sweat glands. These glands help in the production of sweat that ultimately causes cooling in their body.

providing examples explain how sexual reproduction in plants has evolved to become less dependent on water
Mars2501 [29]

The Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are groups of plants with seed, which means that they don’ t necessary acquire water for fertilization. These groups have made adaptations for sexual reproduction on dry land.

1) Gymnosperms (plants with the seeds are not enclosed in an ovary) have developed over the course of its evolution, structures that solved the main limitations present in the Pteridophytes in relation to sexual reproduction, in the terrestrial environment. The main changes that happened as an evolutionary adaptation to dry land are those on the seeds and pollen. The advantages of the seeds are: the storage tissue which sustains growth and a protective coat of the seeds. Seed is enveloped with the layers of hardened tissue which prevents desiccation. This is what frees reproduction from the need for a constant supply of water. <span>The sperm (male gamete) of gymnosperms</span> is enclosed in a pollen grain. Thi structure is protected from desiccation and can reach the female organs without dependence on water. Gymnosperms also developed structures called cupules to enclose and protect the ovule (the female gametophyte) which will develop into a seed upon fertilization.

 

2) Angiosperms are a group of plants which protect their seeds within an ovary called a fruit. Angiosperms have special evolutionary adaptations. For example, they produce their gametes in separate organs, usually in a flower, so the fertilization and embryo development takes place inside an anatomical structure. That provides a stable system of sexual reproduction largely sheltered from environmental fluctuations like water need.

Anton [14]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Yes this is true that Complex DNA repair mechanisms in many organisms is a challenge to Darwinian evolution because DNA repair is complex involving many proteins and Darwinian evolution would need to evolve all of these proteins simultaneously. The importance of neutral mutations has emphasized by Evolutionary theory.

DNA repair: The process through which cell repairs it's impaired DNA is called DNA repair process.
