What have you learned about heredity and genetics that could support Darwin's theory of natural selection?
Understanding how genetic variation can be inherited from one generation to the next helps support Darwin's theory of natural selection, as it provides the basis for the variability upon which natural selection acts. The mechanisms of inheritance, such as dominant and recessive traits, allow for the passing down of advantageous traits that can confer a survival advantage, leading to their increased prevalence in a population over time through natural selection. By observing how traits are passed on and how they can change within a population over generations, we can see how natural selection can drive the evolution of species.

Personality traits are influenced from a combination of heredity and .?
Personality traits are influenced by a combination of heredity and environment. While genetics provide a foundation, factors such as upbringing, life experiences, and culture also play a significant role in shaping an individual's personality.
Is winking genetic?
There is no specific gene that directly causes individuals to wink. Winking is more of a learned behavior or cultural gesture rather than being determined by genetics.
Why does only traits controlled by genes be acted upon natural selection?
Traits controlled by genes are subject to natural selection because they are heritable and can be passed on to offspring, allowing successful variations to increase in frequency over generations. Traits that are not controlled by genes, such as behavior or learned characteristics, are not directly influenced by genetic inheritance and therefore cannot be directly acted upon by natural selection.
How are genetics involved in the theory of evolution?
Finding out how exactly traits are passed on to offspring - with variation - filled in a gap in the understanding of evolution that Darwin pioneered. Darwin did not know or understand how it could come to be that traits propagated through the generations with only minor variations, without blending. He could only assume that there was some mechanism that facilitated this propagation. His fear was that further research into genetics would show that sexual reproduction blends traits. Had that been the case, then evolutionary theory would have been falsified. In stead, what we learned about genetics - starting with Mendel, and culminating in the findings of Watson and Crick - confirmed what we'd learned about evolution in great detail.
What is the difference between inherited and learned characteristics?
Inherited - Something that you instinctively know how to do, such as breathing or blinking.Learned - Something that you had to be taught how to do, such as driving a car or multiplying numbers.

What i have learned in sciencegr. 8?
In 8th grade science, you likely learned about topics such as the properties of matter, the scientific method, cells and cell structure, forces and motion, energy transformations, Earth's systems, genetics and heredity, and ecosystems. These concepts provided a foundation for understanding more complex scientific ideas in higher grades.
Did Mendel learn something?
he became the father of the genetics; i would hope he would have learned about genetics and how to trace them back.
How is instinct different from a learned behavior?
This is the psychological nature vs nurture concept. A learned behavior is considered nurture, you arent born with it therefore its learned. An instinct however is considered nature because you were born with it and it is in your genes. In other words an instinct would be something you are predispositioned to by heredity. With animals this would also have to do with natural selection. They carry on genes that help them survive, ie instincts. Amanda

What is inherited behavior?
Inherited behavior refers to behaviors that are passed down from one generation to the next through genetics. These behaviors are instinctual and are not learned during an individual's lifetime. Inherited behaviors are influenced by genes and are typically present in a species as a result of natural selection.
What have psychologists learned about schizophrenia by combining the results of twins adoption and family studies?
They have learned that schizophrenia has a strong genetic component, but that there are also other factors than genetics involved.
Is it true that only traits that are learned can be acted upon in natural selection?
all i know is that its False
Did natural selection give rise to our ability to drive automobiles?
No, our ability to drive automobiles is not a trait that has evolved through natural selection. Driving is a learned skill and is not influenced by genetic traits that are subject to natural selection.
What is the key lesson scientist learned about evolution by natural selection?
different species originated from other species
