The peacock, though it is often used by creationists as an argument against evolution, is a great example of how it works. It has been proved that peahens will choose males with brighter colors. Therefor, if they continue to only mate with the brightest males, then only the brightest males will pass on their genes, and then only the brightest of that generation will pass on their genes. Over time brighter and brighter birds emerge until you have something as flamboyant and unnecessary as the peacock. Because of this, the alleles for the less bright peacocks will fade away (natural selection).
What else can I help you with?
Why is DNA the weakest evidence of evolution?
Actually, it is the strongest evidence for evolution. Without one fossil we would know from the DNA evidence that evolution has occurred and is occurring. It is in the DNA of organisms that we see the strongest evidence for common ancestry. The products of those genes are sometimes highly conserved down the ages. Ribosomes, the workbenches on which proteins are made, differ hardly at at between you and pets.
Describe one example of heat technology from the past and one example from the present day?
The frankin stove (can be a stove and a fireplace) is one example of heat technology from the past. Today we use electrical stove and fire place. Back then we use matches to light a fire place up, today we use electricity and buttons.
Is Charles Darwin's invention used today?
Charles Darwin was not an inventor. He was a scientist that created the theory of evolution, which is one of the most accepted human creation ideas.
What is contingent evolution?
Contingent evolution is one of the forces of Darwin's theory of evolution. It is based on the concept of how power of accidents and happenstance shape the course of evolution.
Is evolution progressive?
It depends first on the context and definition of the terms "evolution" and "progress(ive)". The term evolution may be used in many different contexts; such as the evolution of species, or the evolution of technology. And the term progressive may have more than one meaning; such as implying some form of improvement over time, or merely implying non-stasis.Colloquially, the term evolution may refer to progress in terms of improvement. We might say, for example, that the rapid evolution of technology has led to great improvement in the quality of life. However, the same is not true when the terms are applied to science.Biological evolution, for example, describes how populations diverge, adapt, and differentiate over time resulting in new species. We might say that evolution progresses because it is not static, or because information is being added to the genomes of species over time; but not because there was any quantifiable improvement.
A example of natural selection occurring in nature today?
One example of natural selection occurring today is the peppered moth in industrial England. Initially, light-colored moths were more prevalent, but as pollution darkened the environment, darker moths had better camouflage and survived to reproduce, leading to an increase in their population over time.
Would one be likely to find glaciers occurring today in the savanna region?
yes
Where is one example of where energy transfer by radiation is occurring?
One example of energy transfer by radiation is the sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.
Can we see evolution actually happening. Find examples of natural occurrences in the wild or experimental situations in the laboratory in which we can observe evolution occurring?
Evolution can be observed in the wild, such as the formation of anti-biotic resistant bacterial strains.Additionally Bacterial evolution has been observed in a large experiment, specifically the evolution of E.coli to metabolise citrate, a process that E.coli normally cannot undertake. Read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli_long-term_evolution_experimentFor more examples of experimental evolution read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_evolution
What example of naturally occurring solutions?
Examples: sea water, petroleum, saft, etc.
Find one example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules?
One example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules is the evolution of leaf-like structures in different lineages that have adapted to a similar environment. Despite starting from different ancestral forms, these organisms have independently evolved leaf-like structures to maximize surface area for photosynthesis, showing convergent evolution.
Name one example of where energy transfer by conduction is occurring?
A pot of water on a stove is an example where energy transfer by conduction is occurring. The heat from the stove is conducted through the pot to the water inside, gradually increasing the water's temperature.
What is one specific example of observed evolution in a species?
Polyploidy in plants leading to new species.
What are arches used for today?
one example is in a bridge.
People with one sickle cell allele are not likely to get a malaria what is this an example of?
It is an example of Natural Selection, Modern Theories of Evolution.
Is evolution an example of the clash between reason and the Bible?
Evolution is a lie from the Darwin guy, and the bible has all the answers, so get one! ______________ No. Considering the Bible a complete and perfect science text is an example of the clash between reason and the Bible.
What is the difference between mutation and evolution?
Evolution= the major transition from one type of organism to another occurring at the level of the species and higher taxa. Mutation= a sudden departure from the parent type in one or more heritable characteristics, caused by a change in a gene or a chromosome. in other words, evolution is when a horse gives birth to a chicken. etc... and mutation is when a gene or a chromosome changes. hope this helped
