Answer:

1. Intraspecific

2. speciation

3. fossil record

4. The fossil record provides empirical evidence for evolution because it shows that species now aren't the same as species that existed in the past and that small changes happen over time to create new species.

5. A geographic variation in the fossil record occurs when two similar organisms occupy the same time span in two different places. These organisms hold the same purpose within the overall ecology.

6. A more detailed fossil record is preferable for supporting evolution because it allows for the instances of gradual change to be recorded and placed into broader speciation events.

7. Fossils provide a great many intermediaries that connect past species with their living descendants.

8. Intraspecific competition is competition that occurs within species. This is the competition that drives natural selection.

A moth learns to visit nectar-filled white flowers, and the good food source allows it to lay more eggs and have more surviving
neonofarm [45]

Answer: This moth has evolved

Explanation:

Evolutionary patterns show different patterns. One of the patterns is that: one species gradually transform into another species.

The above mentioned pattern is responsible for the moth's ability to lay more eggs and have more surviving offspring than other moths in the area. The moth is gradually transforming, so also its offspring will inherit these new traits, and it would further demonstrate evolution of one species.

Thus, it can be concluded that the unique ability of this moth over other moths is because the moth has evolved.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP !!!!<br> Explain the evidence (4 parts) for evolution? Complete answer please
ivanzaharov [21]

First of all, let us remember that "fitness" is defined as living enough to reproduce. If an organism has survived long enough to reproduce, it has done its part as far as survival is concerned, and id deemed "fit".

1) There is a struggle to survive. LIFE IS HARD. Survival is affected by limited resources, predators, and environmental factors. Organisms must compete with other organisms to obtain the necessary resources to survive. Organisms must evade predators and find successful ways to survive in challenging environments. Many more offspring are produced than those who stay alive long enough to reproduce themselves. Some offspring survive to adulthood and reproduce, many do not.

2) Traits in offspring are inherited from their parents.

3) There is variation in these inherited traits in the offspring. Most individuals among the offspring will not be identical to each other or their parents, but at the same time will carry the traits of their parents.

4) As conditions change, variations in traits may become more favorable than others for survival. Individuals who have the traits that enable them to survive and reproduce will pass these traits down to the next generation. Go back to step #1.
