Nata [24]3 years ago
5 0

Darwin's proposed mechanism for evolution is natural selection. Natural selection allows species to respond to their surroundings through time, or to become progressively excellently-suited. Natural selection is environmentally based and involves established heritable variation within a population.

They lead to changes in  species over time:

  • Darwin suggested species will evolve over time, new species originate from pre-existing species, and all species share a common ancestor with each other.
  • In this framework each organism has its own special set of heritable i.e genetic variations from the common ancestor that have slowly developed over very longer periods of time.
  • Parroted branching activities that isolate new species from a common ancestor create a multi-level tree that connects all living organisms.

Which nervous system regulates involuntary activities that you probably don’t even realize are happening?
Feliz [49]
The correct answer should be
<span>D. Autonomic nervous system

It is called autonomic because it works on its own and it regulates organs functioning which is a thing that happens involuntarily. It regulates heart beats for example and it's not something that you do voluntarily since the heart beats regardless of you. It also controls things like vomiting or sneezing that you can't choose not to do when it starts happening.</span>
