Rzqust [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Modern theory of evolution explains that "organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits". Hence this change suggests the loss of vestigial organs.

Explanation:

  • Vestigial organ are those which do not have any function but is present in our body.
  • According to the modern theory the genetic and physical appearance changes along with the adaptation in environment by the organism.
  • So if the organ looses its function in order to sustain and adopt in the changing environment then they become vestigial and slowly disappear.
  • This is the common example for the Lamarck's theory of "use and disuse".

Science and society are independent. However science cannot answer all of society's questions because science has
Effectus [21]
Science can only explain logical questions and provide answers to things that only can be scientifically proven. Things that are asked in society like religion can not be further explained. The reason why we have religion is because we have always believed in something in history. Either is was made up or concocted out of no where, humans have always believed in something. But what science can't explain is the miracles and things that have happened. Like Jesus, they can't prove that he performed miracles or was the Son of God. They can't prove he and his body ascended into heaven. Science can't explain that God is real. Yet the only thing you can do is believe in it, and trust the Bible accounts are accurately true.

in a series of experiments Griffith infected mi've with oa nonvirulent r strain bacteria and highly virulent s strain bacteria.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

This demonstrate the transforming principle.

Explanation:

Griffith performed the experiment on the virulent bacteria and non- virulent bacteria. The non- virulent bacteria produce rough colonies and did  not cause pneumonia. The virulent bacteria produces smooth colonies that kill the mice and caused pneumonia.

When Griffith mixed the on virulent bacteria and heat killed virulent bacteria he found that the mice were killed. He concluded that there was transforming principle that turns the non- virulent bacteria into virulent bacteria from the heat killed bacteria. Something, has been transferred from the heat killed bacteria to the non- virulent bacteria. Later, he found that dead mice blood sample contained both the non-virulent rough bacteria strains and virulent smooth strains of bacteria.
