Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Options for the question are

a.  It demonstrated that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.

b.  It demonstrated that species arise from other species.

c.  It provided a quantifiable mechanism to explain gradual evolutionary change.

d.  It was the first time that change in biological organisms was observed.

e.  It was not very important to evolutionary biology.

Solution -

The term modern synthesis by coined by Julian Huxley and the goal of this synthesis was to understand and determine how genetics bring evolutionary changes in a population and with this objective it combined the Darwin’s theory of evolution and Mendel’s work on heredity. Later on scientist Dobzhansky under this synthesis found that genetic mutation causes variation through the process of natural selection and hence lead to evolutionary changes in a population even if they are isolated for a long time.  

Hence, option C is correct

in order for natural selection to take place, we must have a.one individual b.a cloned species c.the same traits d.variety in a
padilas [110]
Natural selection can only occur because of a variety in a population. Natural selection refers to environmental factors that affect a population and causes some of the population to have more surviving offspring than others. An example is a giraffe with a longer neck will be more likely to survive and reproduce (as it can gather more food from taller trees)
