Answer 2

Answer:

I have paired together the matching misconceptions and the explanations down below (please note that it is in the order misconception followed by explanation).

Explanation:

• Biological evolution explains the origin of life.
• Biological evolution did not begin until life existed.

• Evolution occurs in order to help a species survive.

• Evolution does not have a plan. New adaptations arise by mutations, which occur randomly.

• Individuals can evolve.
• Mechanisms of evolution may act on Individuals (or even on genes), but by definition evolution always occurs at the level of the population.

• Beneficial traits acquired during an individual's life are passed to the next generation.
• Acquired characteristics are not typically inherited.

• All members of a population develop new traits simultaneously .
• If an adaptation were to arise, then it would originate in a single individual, not in the entire population. The new trait would then be subject to natural selection.

• Evolution and natural selection are the same thing.
• Natural selection is one mechanism of evolution. Mutation, genetic drift, migration, and nonrandom mating are other mechanisms of evolution.

• Evolution only happens when conditions change dramatically.
• Minor changes in the environment may be sufficient to trigger selection for different traits.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
