. In 1980, the housing inspector noticed traces of toxic substances in the basement walls of the local schools and homes. The local hospital noticed that there were 25% higher numbers of birth defects during 1970-1980. The hospital then offered free genetic tests and found that 20% of the adult volunteers/residents of Love Canal contained genetic abnormalities. The exposure to those industrial chemical wastes must have been the cause the genetic abnormalities and higher birth defect incidence. Your Interpretation:

Answer:

There is no control group and variables were not addressed.

Explanation:

In the context, it is given that there is a dumping ground in a small town called Love Canal and harmful chemical waste of industries are dumped there.

The hospitals also noticed that during the period of 1970 to 1980, there were increase in the number of the birth defects in the area. The people of the Love Canal has genetic abnormalities and the chemical waste is responsible for it.

Thus it can be concluded that there is a no such any control group in this case. The confounding variables like the comorbidities as well as the family history of the genetic defects were not addressed.

How does artificial selection provide evidence for evolution by natural selection
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Natural selection is one of the mechanisms by which an organism evolve. In the natural selection when the trait of an organism allows the organism to grow and reproduce in an environment and nature selects it, it is then passed on to the generations and become permanent.

Artificial selection is also one of the mechanism of evolution in which instead of nature, the selection is made by humans like the breeding experiments on dogs and plant crops.

The artificial selection and natural selection are interlinked as in the artificial selection the trait selected by the humans were also selected by nature like the case of crops, the crossing between desired plants produced results which were useful to the humans but grew and reproduced only when the environment selected it to grow and reproduce.
