- Natural Selection can be defined most simply by saying it is the differential reproduction of individuals within a population. Therefore, in light of natural selection, it is more important to pass on your genes than to beat up your neighbor for food - Is Evolution testable? Yes(evolution is testable through the scientific method- Choose the percentage of DNA from a single individual that can be found within relatives: Daughter(50%); Sister(50%?); Cousin(<50%?); Niece* (sister's daughter) (<=25%?); Granddaughter* (daughter's daughter)(25%); Great Granddaughter (daughter's daughter's daughter)(12.5%)**Daughter 50Sister 50Cousin 12.5Niece 25Granddaughter25Great GDT 12.5- Match the name of the person with their contribution to the study of evolution.Nicolaus Steno: Principal of Superstition and the Principle of Original HorizontalityGeorges Cuvier: developed functional study of animals, developed vertebrate paleontology, solidified existence of extinctionCharles Darwin: developed mechanism for evolution through Natural Selection &Sexual SelectionAlfred Wallace: developed mechanism of evolution through Natural selection. - Evolution occurs through both random and directed means. Which of the following are the directed ways that evolution progresses? Environmental selection of phenotypes- Choose all the things that Evolution needs to proceed.a. variationb. timec. information transfer- Variation for a trait in a population of organisms can be measured, graphed, and shown toproduce which kind of pattern? Normal distribution- What creates the boundaries for the distribution of a trait within a population? Evolutionary- What is evolutionary fitness? Evolutionary Fitness is how well a species is able to reproduce in its environment- The myth of the cyclops is based on which of these fossil
