The piece of evidence that Charles Darwin was missing when he developed the theory of natural selection was that ____

Biology

mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

       The right answer to this question is option C. the traits acted upon natural selection were genes.

       At the time Charles Darwin developed the evolution theory, there wasn't a single study about genes in all science scenery, that could be explained by the lack of technology to study them and even to know they existed in the first place.

        So, his theory was basically talking about adaptation, if an organism can't survive a specific environment, he'll probably die until another generation comes in and this one can survive in this environment, passing their genes to the next ones. The lack of information was the knowledge about the genes we have today, that's why most scientists take only the new Darwin theory, that includes the study of genes.

How do rivers become larger as they travel across land?

Tributaries combine, adding water to rivers.

A tributary is a stream that flows into a larger river. Small streams from around an area combine together to form a bigger tributary that eventually falls into rivers. This adds water to the main river, finally leading this river water out into an ocean.
