A letter about the evidence of evolution
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

I am writing this in response to a letter regarding evolution. Evolution is increasingly solid, not shaky. Darwin’s “theory” or explanation was a way of understanding what he had discovered (which did not include genes, chromosomes, DNA or nucleotide bases). Our explanations now include genetics and the commonality of mutation.  

Proofs are solid, not in question by serious scientists. Direct observation is one, which we see in the fact that this year’s flu evolved a little too far from last year’s, so flu shots are less effective this year than we would like them to be.  

Fossils tell the story well: whales with legs, dinosaurs with feathers and Tiktaalik. The latter was found in the Canadian north and is part fish, part amphibian, before there were ever any amphibians. Imperfection is a good proof: think of your useless appendix, the very bad design of your ankles, knees, and back (talk to a chiropractor about that).  You have big toes because they used to be useful thumbs for your grasping feet.

Many other animals and even plants similarly have flaws that show their evolutionary past. Two large human chromosomes reflect the coming together of two chimpanzee chromosomes each.

Hope it helps,

Please mark me as the brainliest

Thank you

A constant rate of increase (rmax) for a population produces a growth graph that is J-shaped rather than a straight line. Why?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The line graph illustrates the temperatures in London, New York and Sydney on monthly average and the table introduces the information about the annual hours of sunshine for these cities. The overall view is that London is always exceeded by the rest in both the temperature and the number of sunshine hours.

To specify, the line graph shows that in New York, the average temperature goes up slightly from 4.5 degree in January to 8 degree in March, before a more significant increase to the highest of 30 degree in July, followed by a drop to 5 degree in December. Similarly, in London, after climbing gradually from the lowest point of 9 degree to the highest of 23 degree in July, the figure stays unchanged in the next month and then fall to 9.5 degree in December.

On the contrary, in Sydney, the temperature decrease insignificantly from 25.5 degree in January to the lowest of 16 degree in July, before a gradual rise to 25 degree in December. Meanwhile, the table indicates that New York has the largest number of sunshine hours per year with 2535 hours, came after by Sydney and London with 2473 hours and 1180 hours respectively.

In conclusion, London is likely to be the coldest city because its annual hours of sunshine is less than two others.
