Answer:

Option A is correct (Alfred Wallace).

Explanation:

Option A is correct (Alfred Wallace).

According to the evolution theory all living species are evolved from a simple life source with the passage of time.

Points of natural selection:

  • Genetic variation are passed from generation to generation but environment can cause variations too.
  • Individuals in species have gene variation which is due to random mutation
  • Those who can not adopt to environment can not have their genes pass to next generation.
  • Natural Selection is also called as "Survival of the fittest".

Answer: Option A.

Alfred Wallace.

Explanation:

Alfred Russell Wallace was an English naturalist born in January 1823. He independently proposed theory of evolution by natural selection. His scientific ideas encouraged Charles Darwin to work together with him and they both published their scientific ideas in 1858.

Wallace thought that an inferior variety can coexist with another superior variety in the environment, until deteriotion forced the inferior variety to be extinct from the environment and this is totally different from Darwin's view which said that individual with heritable trait are better suited in their environment.

What happens if your DNA has a mutation? What types of things can cause mutations?
serious [3.7K]
Answer:
A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time. Mutations can also occur as the result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, sunlight and radiation. Often cells can recognize any potentially mutation-causing damage and repair it before it becomes a fixed mutation.

Mutations contribute to genetic variation within species. Mutations can also be inherited, particularly if they have a positive effect. For example, the disorder sickle cell anaemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that instructs the building of a protein called hemoglobin. This causes the red blood cells to become an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape. However, in African populations, having this mutation also protects against malaria.

However, mutation can also disrupt normal gene activity and cause diseases, like cancer. Cancer is the most common human genetic disease; it is caused by mutations occurring in a number of growth-controlling genes. Sometimes faulty, cancer-causing genes can exist from birth, increasing a person’s chance of getting cancer.
