This argument would not be valid because it fails to take into account the mechanisms through which evolution occurs and misunderstands the second law of thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a system must always increase. The argument stating that this law disproves evolution given that evolution can be considered as a decrease in entropy, fails to realize that the second law states that the total entropy must increase, this does not mean that entropy cannot decrease at one point, to then increase more so at another.

The other aspect of evolution that this argument fails to account for is that evolution is a chaotic process. Evolution, though having a final product that may be considered as increasing in organization, is at heart a chaotic process caused by random mutations and the fragile process of natural selection. Therefore, rather than disprove it, the second law of thermodynamics is actually the driving force behind continued evolution.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

A. Chipmunks sleeping underground through the winter

Explanation:

A seasonal change in the behavior of a living organism is a change that occurs every year at a particular time. The reasons for the occurrence of such changes are so that the organism has advantage in survival in the environment. In this case we have the chipmunk that sleeps underground through the winter. We have an animal which exhibit a seasonal change every year, during the winter period. The reason for this is that the chipmunks have very quick metabolism, so if they are active during the winter they will starve because of lack of food. Instead, the chipmunks have evolved to hibernate during the winter, thus slowing down the work of their hurt during the winter and sleep, until the spring comes.
