Question 6

Question
The best way to summarize Darwinism is:
Answer
  • Evolution is driven mainly by natural selection, keeping the best adaptations on organisms, and leaving the ones that are useless.

Question

  • On a population a mutation fails and those individuals that show it disappear.

Question 9

Question
Neo-darwinists say:
Answer
  • The geographical distribution is the main resource of the descendant’s variability
  • The only resource that explains the evolutionary process is the mitosis that takes place during the gametes formation.

Question 40

Question
Why on those small islands exposed to wind insects tend to don’t have wings? Choose the neo-darwinist interpretation.
Answer
  • a) Firstly some insects with wings arrived to those small islands. It is possible that due to mutations some none-winged insects appeared. Winged insects can’t adapt as good as none-winged insects on this kind of places, so those insects without wings will leave more descendants. The number of none-winged insects will increase.
  • b) Insects from small island stop flying to resist the strong winds, so wings are finally atrophied.
  • c) Firstly, insects with and without wings arrived to small island. However, those winged were dragged by the wind, and those none-winged weren’t. Consequently, the number of none-winged insects will increase.
  • d) None of the previous answers is based on neo-darwinism.

Answer

  • None of the above answers.
  • The principle that certain phenotypes are more likely to leave offspring and will be more frequent in later generations.
  • The principle of inheritance of acquired traits.

Answer
  • Darwinism.
  • Gradualism.
  • Fixe-species concept
  • Transformism.

Question 53

Question
What do gradualism and saltationism have in common?
Answer
  • Both refer to the evolution of species over time.
  • They have nothing in common because one refers to the environmental degrees centigrade and the other to the generational leaps in the species of a certain zone.
  • Both are based on the influence of the slope of the land and the movement of the species in their natural habitat.
  • Both are theories that defend the evolutionary immobility of species.

Question 54

Question
Which of the following statements best reflects the theory of neutralism?
Answer
  • The vast majority of molecular change is adaptively neutral; therefore, natural selection does not act on these variations and the increase in certain alleles is due to chance, a phenomenon known as genetic drift.
  • In the struggle for survival, some individuals will be more successful than others, and these will have more and better adapted descendants.
  • Changes induced by the environment will cause genetic variability and will be transmitted to offspring, which will improve their adaptation to the environment.
  • The evolutionary unit is not the individual but the population, which is what experiences adaptation through natural selection.

Question 55

Question
“50 million years ago, horses lived in forests and were small. Due to climate change, the forests gave way to grasslands and the size of horses increased and their legs became stronger and more agile in order to defend against predators.” What concept is being discussed in this text?

Question
Complete the following text: The synthetic theory of evolution or [blank_start]Neo-Darwinism[blank_end] can be summarised in these principles: The evolutionary unit is not the individual, but the [blank_start]population[blank_end]. Individuals are carriers of different [blank_start]alleles[blank_end], which originated by [blank_start]mutation[blank_end]. Certain phenotypes will be more likely to leave [blank_start]offspring[blank_end], so that in later generations the alleles responsible for these will become more [blank_start]frequent[blank_end].
