When scientists discover fossils from the past, it helps us to understand the species of the present and how they have evolved over time. For example, birds are the last trace of dinosaurs, which went extinct 65 million years ago.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.

The element common to all of these types of deserts, however, is their lack of rainfall. In that sense the rainfall is a characteristic that determines if it's a desert.</span>

THE GREAT SPERM RACE:

A sperm's race to fertilize an egg is not so easy. Out of about 250 million sperm ejaculated into the human vagina during intercourse, not more than one in a hundred will survive the Great race to the end due to the hurdles it has to face in the hostile, ACIDIC CHAMBER to the cervix (it has hundreds of tiny branching tunnels that can trap, crush and slowly kill sperm).

If ovulation is not occurring soon the sperm will "drown in a thick flow of cervical mucus
