The answer is descent with modification.
Descent with modification practically means that a species have changed appearance wise over long periods of time to adapt to their environments better.

Answer:

Descent with modification

Explanation:

Darwin proposed the phrase "descent with modification" to explain that evolution of new species occurs when existing species accumulate genetic variation over the period of time.  

Accordingly, the process of accumulation of genetic variations to get better adapted to the surroundings is followed by natural selection of individuals with beneficial adaptations that impact survival advantage to them. These individuals transmit the adaptations to their progeny.

Gradually, the process leads to the evolution of new species which differ from parental species in having the individuals carrying the beneficial adaptations.

Why there is uncertainty in science.

Answer: absolute certainty is often difficult to achieve. Scientific uncertainty generally means that there is a range of possible values within which the true value of the measurement lies.

Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: R (dominant) and r (recessive). Only homozygous individu
White raven [17]

<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>

<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>

where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the frequencies of the genotypes.

<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15

To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
