Question

Consider the two male oryx that are shown below. mc005-1.jpg Which of Charles Darwin’s main points is depicted in the image? Organisms within a population compete with each other to survive. Over time, beneficial variations will be passed on to future generations. More offspring are produced than can be supported by an environment. All organisms within a population have an equal chance for survival.

Answer 1

There are three sources of genetic variation: mutation, gene flow, and sexual reproduction. A mutation is simply a change in the DNA. Mutations themselves are not very common and are usually harmful to a population. Because of this, mutations are usually selected against through evolutionary processes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Over time, beneficial variations will be passed on to future generations.

Explanation:

• Based on the concept of having ancestral ancestors, Charles Darwin created the theory of evolution to explain the unity and diversity of life.
• Natural selection, which Darwin founded his theory on, explains how populations can evolve through time in a way that makes them better suited to their circumstances.
• There are differences between people in their inherited qualities. Some variants improve a person's ability to survive and procreate in their environment.
• If this keeps happening over several generations, the population will gradually develop more of these advantageous adaptations (the heritable traits that help in survival and reproduction).
• The population will not only change in terms of its genetic make-up and passed-down traits, but it will also alter in a way that allows it to adapt.
