What are the islands where Charles Darwin observed variation among organisms?
Galapagos Islands are the islands where Charles Darwin observed variation among organisms.
Who observed variation in the characteristics of animals and plants on the different islands of Galapagos?
Charles Darwin
What does it mean when Darwin saw that variation exists within a species?
When studying and proving the theory of evolution, Darwin notice that variations existed within species. Species includes organisms that are closely related and can mate to produce fertile offspring. Variation is a difference. Darwin noticed that there were more than one organism inside a species.
How do linnaeus and Darwin differ?
Linnaeus retained typological thinking of human variation. Basically, Linnaeus want to diverge a species into several types (perhaps sub species) while Darwin focuses on variation. Linnaeus wants to divide human by types while Darwin says there is no type in human. He emphasis on variation among species.
Charles Darwin observed that instead of being perfect and unchanging individuals in a species show what?
variation!
What are the islands where Charles Darwin observed variation among organisms?
Galapagos Islands are the islands where Charles Darwin observed variation among organisms.
What did Charles Darwin discover about variation from his study of the finches?
charles Darwin was an amazing person
Why was variation the weakest concept in Darwin's theory?
Variation?!?! That was an obvious observation of naturalists that opposed Darwin's concepts totally. Unless you mean the heritability that leads to variation? Explaining that variation was the problem. Creationists of the time explained this by positing god's whimsy in designing his species, but this was shown to be nonsense as natural processes are at work in variation and this can be shown experimentally. The concept of natural selection explained how that natural variation was selected on beneficial traits. What Darwin did not understand is how that variation was passed on to progeny. His explanation was wrong.
What animals did Darwin use to show variation in domesticated forms?
monkey
What is one example of biological variation that Darwin observed in his travels?
plant
What is the process of bringing wild animals and plants under human control called?
domestication
How did Charles Darwin explain inherited variation and artificial selecton?
Darwin said that artificial selection was when nature provided the variation, and humans selected those variations that they found useful. Inherited variations are differences that are passed from parents to offspring
The weakest concept in Darwin's theory was variation why?
I think it isn't a weak or invalid concept.
Who observed variation in the characteristics of animals and plants on the different islands of Galapagos?
Charles Darwin
How could the different types of tortoise have evolved according to Darwin's theory?
Through reproductive variation and differential reproductive success (ie. variation and selection).
What are the release dates for Orphan Black - 2013 Variations Under Domestication 1-6?
Orphan Black - 2013 Variations Under Domestication 1-6 was released on: USA: 4 May 2013
Which two important factors was Darwin unable to explain without an understanding of heredity?
First, he had no idea how heritable traits pass from one generation to the next. Second, although variation in heritable traits was central to Darwin's theory, he had no idea how that variation appeared.
