Essays on Natural Selection

The lab aims to examine the survival of prey and predators in terms of beans and students’ mouthparts. The hypothesis is that green beans, due to their small size, would survive and predators using their hands as mouthparts would also survive. To conduct the lab, we gather seven different types of beans, including split pea,…

Natural Selection The article “Natural Selection: Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace” discusses the emergence of natural selection theory, its implication and details. Firstly, the article describes pre-Darwinian ideas about evolution claiming that it is Darwin who was the firs to show the evolution of species and to offer “a plausible mechanism by which life…

What lands and observations inspired Darwin to develop his theory of evolution? Driven started by studying with proclaimed geologists learning how to map lands and animals and develop theories. Darning’s observations in the lands of Wales and throughout various places in South America lead to his theories of coral reefs and formation of volcanic islands…

The theory of evolution in biology does not provide an explanation for the origins of life on Earth. Nonetheless, it does shed light on the process through which life has evolved and diversified into different forms that currently exist and can be observed in the fossil record. Biology helps us comprehend the existence of evolution…

The species I will be discussing is Alopex lagopus whose common name is Arctic fox. The Arctic foxes are located in the Arctic region and they live in the areas around the North Pole which is characterized by long durations of snow cover (Blix, 2005). The trait I will be discussing is fur coloration. The…

In the past, Darwin thought that natural selection happened too slowly to be observed within a human lifetime. However, in the late 1900s, evolutionary biologists found significant changes occurring in a few species. Nowadays, scientists have discovered more instances of natural selection, indicating how quickly species can adapt to environmental changes. Interestingly, humans are unknowingly…

What is a gene?According to the national institute for health and ‘TheBody. com” a gene is a unit of heredity.  The gene represents the smallest collection of DNA that can be demonstrated to transmit characteristics (traits)  to an organism’s offspring.Both sites are well established bodies involved in the science of physiology and health fields dealing…

Many millions of years the planet was dominated by lizards great and small. It was a place ruled by the laws of natural selection where the only way to survive was to be able to defend yourself with what you had. It was a constant struggle for food, shelter, and supremacy. It was about survival…
