A letter about the evidence of evolution

Biology
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

I am writing this in response to a letter regarding evolution. Evolution is increasingly solid, not shaky. Darwin’s “theory” or explanation was a way of understanding what he had discovered (which did not include genes, chromosomes, DNA or nucleotide bases). Our explanations now include genetics and the commonality of mutation.  

Proofs are solid, not in question by serious scientists. Direct observation is one, which we see in the fact that this year’s flu evolved a little too far from last year’s, so flu shots are less effective this year than we would like them to be.  

Fossils tell the story well: whales with legs, dinosaurs with feathers and Tiktaalik. The latter was found in the Canadian north and is part fish, part amphibian, before there were ever any amphibians. Imperfection is a good proof: think of your useless appendix, the very bad design of your ankles, knees, and back (talk to a chiropractor about that).  You have big toes because they used to be useful thumbs for your grasping feet.

Many other animals and even plants similarly have flaws that show their evolutionary past. Two large human chromosomes reflect the coming together of two chimpanzee chromosomes each.

Hope it helps,

Please mark me as the brainliest

Thank you

katovenus [111]
Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents.

Starch and ATP can both be described as molecules that store energy. How do starch and ATP store and supply energy?
Serga [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>ATP is used for immediate energy and short-term storage, while starch molecules are stable and can be stored for a long time.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Starch and ATP can both be described as molecules that store energy. ATP is used for <em>immediate energy and short-term storage,</em> while starch molecules are stable and can be stored for a long time.

ATP is known as an <em>energy medium for a reason</em> does changes into energy. In this process starch does have to pass through various steps and series to convert into energy.

<em>Plants use starch for a very important purpose which is to store glucose.</em>
