garik1379 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I believe the options are:

1) Present day species developed from earlier species .

2) Some species die out when environmental changes occur .

3) Complex organism develop from simple organisms over time .

4) Change occurs according to the needs of an individual.

The answer is 4) Change occurs according to the needs of an individual.

Explanation:

Theory of Evolution:

  • By definition, evolution is the process of change in an individual's/organism's characteristics over time. Evolution occurs through mutations in the genetic information or DNA of an individual.
  • The theory of evolution states that all organisms change over time and are descendants of a single common ancestor. Species adapt to the changing environment by introducing variations in their DNA over millions of years. Harsh environment conditions eliminate organisms that cannot adapt to the changing environment and only the fittest survive. This is called natural selection.
  • This process, occurring over millions of years, results in the formation of an entirely new species.
  • The theory of evolution is contrary to the concept of Lamarckism or inheritance of acquired characters which states that characters that an organism acquires during its lifetime can be passed on to its offspring.

what does the global conveyor belt reveal about the connectivity of water in the oceans? how could a change in the path of the g
skad [1K]
General paradigms of species extinction risk are urgently needed as global habitat loss and rapid climate change threaten Earth with what could be its sixth mass extinction. Using the stony coral Lophelia pertusa as a model organism with the potential for wide larval dispersal, we investigated how the global ocean conveyor drove an unprecedented post-glacial range expansion in Earth׳s largest biome, the deep sea. We compiled a unique ocean-scale dataset of published radiocarbon and uranium-series dates of fossil corals, the sedimentary protactinium–thorium record of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strength, authigenic neodymium and lead isotopic ratios of circulation pathways, and coral biogeography, and integrated new Bayesian estimates of historic gene flow. Our compilation shows how the export of Southern Ocean and Mediterranean waters after the Younger Dryas 11.6 kyr ago simultaneously triggered two dispersal events in the western and eastern Atlantic respectively. Each pathway injected larvae from refugia into ocean currents powered by a re-invigorated AMOC that led to the fastest postglacial range expansion ever recorded, covering 7500 <span>km in under 400 years. In addition to its role in modulating global climate, our study illuminates how the ocean conveyor creates broad geographic ranges that lower extinction risk in the deep sea.</span>
