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

How does global warming lead to succession events?
MissTica

Answer:

Due to increase temperature and drought condition.

Explanation:

Succession refers to the changes occur in the structure of a biological community with the passage of time. Global warming has a great affect on the succession events because the vegetative cover present in that area vanished due to increase in temperature which is unbearable for the vegetation and also drought condition occurs in that area due to no rainfall. Instead of vegetative cover, a new plant specie formed which has the ability to exists in that environment.
