When evolution started

Evolution began 3 billion years ago, when the first life forms appeared on Earth.

What idea of Darwin's based on fossils and the modern organisms he found basically says that genetic changes are inherited by later generations

The ideas of descent with modification are based on fossils and the modern organisms he found basically says that genetic changes are inherited by later generations.

What is the most likely cause of directional selection

Homozygotes for one allele are favored over all others.

The second law of thermodynamics states that in a closed system entropy will increase meaning that complex things should break down into simpler ones Evolutionary theory suggests that living things

The earth is not a closed system. The sun constantly provides more energy.

Why are the enzymes used in cellular respiration virtually identical in all species

the same genetic code produces those enzymes.

Why might a person whose ancestors came from the Arctic tend to carry more body fat than a person whose ancestors came from the tropics despite similar diets and exercise

People from the Arctic carry more fat because extra fat is an adaptation to cold environments.

Who would be most concerned with the cycling of nutrients through the biotic and abiotic components of a given area

a systems ecologist

Over a few million years in Africa droughts have often caused grasses and shrubs to die some years while tall trees survived Because of this giraffes with very long necks could feed in the trees w

SELECTION

Which form of natural selection is shown on this graph comprehensive bio

Disruptive

Which of these is an example of macroevolution

Birds are thought to be direct descendents of reptiles

How do bacteria exchange genetic information with each other

Genetic exchanges among bacteria occur by several mechanisms. In transformation, the recipient bacterium takes up extracellular donor DNA. In transduction, donor DNA packaged in a bacteriophage infects the recipient bacterium. In conjugation, the donor bacterium transfers DNA to the recipient by mating.
