Scientist discover fossils in different layers in the Earth and draw conclusions to the ones buried in the same layer to get an understanding of what kind of creatures were living in a time period. After studying the layers scientist also develop theories that turn into laws, for example the Law of Superposition states…

    From both the article and the textbook, some of the unique qualities of humans are its bipedalism, large brain, complex language, and the ability to forge tools.

    One of the five agents of microevolution is natural selection. It influences changes in gene frequencies in a population. Natural selection is defined as a process in which there is a competition to pass on genes. In natural selection, some traits are more favoured than other traits. This may result in changes in a population. The favoured traits become more common compared to the traits that are not favoured. The favoured traits are based upon on the environmental conditions. When certain…

As with any small wild population, the Puerto Rican Parrot was bound to be affected by intrinsic factors. For example, a smaller parrot population increases the possibility of inbreeding depression. Genetic issues based on the life history of the parrot could also contribute. The bird mates for life and the average clutch size is…

    Founder effect occurs if a small group moves from home to new settlements, this new family will have dissimilar allele frequencies from the original population it may be by chance either lack come alleles or have high frequency of others while population bottlenecks occurs when a large decrease in the size of an original population can eliminate a large amount of genes. 23. How does mutation increase genetic variation in a way that crossing over and independent assortment do not? This because…
