What basic modifications have been made in evolutionary theory since Darwin's time?

Biology
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
6 0

Knowledge of genetics did not yet exist in Darwin's time, so genetic theory has since been used to explain natural selection. In addition, Darwin believed that evolution progressed at a slow, steady rate. However, that idea has been replaced by the punctuated equilibrium model, in which major changes in brief spurts.

What can occur when too much groundwater is pumped out of underground aquifers?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Pumping too much water too fast draws down the water in the aquifer and eventually causes a well to yield less and less water and even run dry. In fact, pumping your well too much can even cause your neighbor's well to run dry if you both are pumping from the same aquifer.

If a SARS-CoV2 virus were to mutate and become and become better at attaching to respiratory cells, how would natural selection
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Mutations leading to the better attachement of virus to the host cell would allow the virus to spread the infection and leave more progeny. The reproductive fitness of mutant viruses would allow the mutation to spread.

Explanation:

1. The organisms with same resource requirement compete with each other. Viruses are not living things but once inside the host cell, they behave like living things. Rapid multiplication of virus overpopulate the host cells.

2. Genetic variations are added to the viral progeny by random errors during replication of the viral genome. These random variations may  impart beneficial trait, harmful feature or remain neutral. If a random mutation in the SARS-CoV2 virus allows it to adhere better to the cells of the respiratory system, the virus would be better able to infect these cells to spread the infection. Once inside the host cells, the mutant virus would leave more progeny. On the other hand, the wild type virus that lack this mutation would  have lesser chances of entering the host cells and may or may not replicate.

3. The progeny of the mutant virus would compete better with the non mutant ones due to the presence of same mutation.

4. Differential reproduction and more progeny of the mutant virus would spread the mutation among the virus.
