Charles Darwin proposed the idea that those individuals best suited to their environment will survive and reproduce, and their t

raits will become more common in a population. He called this idea "natural selection" and explained it as the mechanism for how populations evolve, or change, over time. This idea is widely accepted and has been tested through many experiments that support the idea, but cannot yet be considered proven or a fact. Darwin’s idea is most likely called the great experiment of evolution by natural selection. the hypothesis of evolution by natural selection. the theory of evolution by natural selection. the law of evolution by natural selection.

Hi!

It's interesting to note that evolution is a <em>proven fact</em>. It is also interesting to note that a <em>theory </em>can be a <em>proven fact. </em>

So, with this in mind, the idea of evolution by natural selection is a <em>theory. </em>A theory cannot become a law! 

It also isn't a hypothesis, as it is far beyond that. A hypothesis is just what you think will happen in an experiment.

This is a theory!

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Birth control, however, is specifically designed to intervene in a woman’s natural hormones to drastically reduce the possibility of pregnancy (much like contraception)

Which of these values would most likely be the heritability of body mass index (BMI) in a developing country with a large gap be
ANTONII [103]

Which of these values would most likely be the heritability of body mass index (BMI) in a developing country with a large gap between nutrition and health care available to the rich and poor?

a. 0.33

b. -0.88

c. 0.99

d. 0.0001

e. 1.3

Answer:

a. 0.33

Explanation:

Body Mass Index is defined as the measure of fat depending on the height and weight of individuals. It is being calculated as: BMI=\frac{mass_{kg}}{height_{m^2}}

The most likely heritability of body mass index(BMI) in a developing country with a large gap between nutrition and health care will be 0.33.

These is because in developing countries especially countries experiencing rapid economic growth as illustrated by the annual GDP growth rate are likely to have widely ranging lifestyles due to influences of the burgeoning economy, Therefore, there are greater chances for the rich  to have access to the basic requirements and necessities of life whereas the poor are limited with either low or no access to adequate nutrition and health care.
