Answer:

All the statements are correct. I have added research reference for each point.

Explanation:

Evolution is partly about inheritance. Evidence of evolution is seen in structures such as wisdom teeth and the tail bone in humans. These structures are thought to be "left over" from our ancestors and no longer appear to have any essential function in modern humans.

(Reference: Danchin, E., & Pocheville, A. (2014). Inheritance is where physiology meets evolution. The Journal of physiology, 592(11), 2307–2317. doi:10.1113/jphysiol.2014.272096)

Natural selection means that today’s organisms are perfectly adapted after millions of years of fine-tuning. No further changes are necessary because of all the progress that has been made by natural selection.

(Reference: Gould, S. J. (1991). Exaptation: A crucial tool for an evolutionary psychology. Journal of social issues, 47(3), 43-65.)

We can see evidence of past natural selection in adaptations such as the camouflage of moths perched on the bark of their host tree. We can also see natural selection at work today if we track how populations change in rapidly changing environments.

(Reference: Skelhorn, J., & Rowe, C. (2016). Cognition and the evolution of camouflage. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 283(1825), 20152890.)

The theory of evolution does not apply to life today. It is strictly about the history of life: what happened in the past as seen in fossils.

(Reference: Simpson, G. G., & Simpson, L. (1949). The meaning of evolution: a study of the history of life and of its significance for man (Vol. 25). Yale University Press.)

Scientists disagree about the main ideas of evolutionary theory because of incomplete or conflicting evidence.

(Reference: Eldredge, N. (1985). Unfinished synthesis: biological hierarchies and modern evolutionary thought. Oxford University Press, USA.)

Why are economic impacts important to consider when planning to address climate change? Wealthy people and businesses won't supp
kherson [118]

Answer:

The projections, if they play out, illustrate the potential magnitude of decisions such as the recent one by President Trump to walk away from the international Paris climate accord, in which more than 170 countries agreed to slash their carbon emissions in coming years. Meanwhile, hundreds of governors, mayors and other elected officials have vowed to continue the shift toward cleaner sources of energy.

Hsiang acknowledged that despite the researchers’ efforts to use sound statistical approaches and a wealth of databases, calculating the future costs of climate change is inherently uncertain. Communities are likely to adapt and become more resilient. Industries evolve and relocate.

Delavane Diaz, a senior technical leader at the Electric Power Research Institute, agreed that the study has limitations. For one, it fails to account for how humans will probably plan for and respond to the changing climate. Still, she said, the conclusions provide an important glimpse of the economic risks the United States could face as global warming worsens.

How do enzymes make chemical reactions more efficient
bagirrra123 [75]

Enzymes are protein molecules which serve as catalysts for chemical reactions. A catalyst is a substance which will decrease the activation energy for a reaction. ... Enzymes will make reactions occur much more easily, quickly and more efficiently than they ever would without the enzyme.
