Imagine that alien scientists are carrying out an experiment on Earth. They effectively construct a "shield" surrounding the pla

net that limits the amount of sunlight/UV radiation that reaches Earth's surface. If the alien scientists return after 60,000 years, what may they discover?
A. Natural selection would likely have selected for humans with little skin pigmentation.
B. Natural selection would have selected for individuals that are predisposed to rickets.
C. Natural selection will not have selected for any particular trait in humans, as natural selection is a process that requires millions of years to occur.
D. Natural selection will have selected for humans with two mutant G6PD alleles.

Answer:

A: Natural selection would likely have selected for humans with little skin pigmentation

Explanation:

Sunlight/UV radiation has been discovered to be an inducer of immediate pigment darkening or melanin production. Hence, if a sunlight/UV radiation shield is is constructed to limit the amount of radiation that reaches the earth, after a while, this might become a selection factor.

Natural selection would likely have selected for humans with little skin pigmentation, those that are able to successfully adapt to the effects of limited sunlight/uv radiation. Humans who are not able to adapt to limited sunlight/uv radiation eventually get replaced in the population by those that are well adapted.

<em>According to theory of natural selection which was proposed by Darwin,</em> organisms with heritable traits that enable them to adapt to changes in an environment will survive more and produce offspring which are also able to survive. This eventually leads to eventual dominance of well adapted organisms in the environment over those that are not able to or weakly adapted.

<em>The correct option is A</em>

Sonja [21]

1. Whorls

2. Organs

3. Symmetry

<u>Explanation:</u>

Some important traits that influence the reproductive success of a flower include: the presence or absence of whorls, the fusion of organs to one another, and the overall symmetry of flowers.

In the process of reproduction in plants, the male and female gametes are produced and transfer of the male gametes to the female ovules occurs. This process is called as pollination. After pollination occurs, fertilization happens and the ovules grow into seeds within a fruit

Floral  zygomorphy confers a reproductive advantage to rare plants" as a result of the  enhanced pollination efficiency.

Match each of Darwin's ideas to the earlier scientist whose work helped Darwin develop the idea.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Lamarck:

The inheritable traits of species may change over time.

Malthus:

In every species in nature, some individuals survive while may others die.

Hutton, Lyell:

The environment of organisms may change over time.

Explanation:

Darwin's revolutionary ideas were influenced by a number of scientists and thinkers of the time:

Jean Baptiste Lamarck:

A botanist and zoologist, Lamarck, for, the first time, proposed the idea of evolutionary changes or adaptations in organisms in response to changes in the environment. He introduced the concept of inheritance of acquired characters.

Thomas Malthus:

Thomas Malthus was not a biologist, but an economist who proposed the ideas that at the rate of the current population growth, human population would eventually suffer from famine and starvation.This would lead to the deaths of the weakest of the population. This idea inspired Darwin to formulate the idea of "the survival of the fittest".

Charles Lyell and James Hutton:

Charles Lyell and James Hutton were famous geologists who greatly influenced Darwin with their theories about the beginning and evolution of the Earth. Charles Lyell proposed that the present state of the Earth was a result of small, gradual changes. James Hutton theorized that the processes that too place at the beginning of the Earth were still in progress.

Lyell and Hutton's work paved the way for the formulation of the theory of natural selection.
