What are some of the different theories of evolution?
There is only one central "theory of evolution", which is the theory of evolution by natural selection that Charles Darwin pioneered. There have been different theories in the past - such as Jean-baptise Lamarck's theory of acquired traits - but these lost their status of scientific theory when they were shown to be wrong.
What were the main points of Charles Darwin's famous book?
charles darwin wrote a book called "on the origin of species by means of natural selection" in it he tried to explain that in any population there are individuals that will be better at surviving then others because they may have better characteristics and therefore do better than those who do not have an advantageous characteristic. those who do better and survive will reproduce more and then they will produce more offspring with the trait. so, the traits will become increasingly common. his four major points are listed below:
i hope this helps.... it is your choice if you chose to accept..... parts are a little far-fetched for me though but these are the facts from my class im taking. dont forget that darwins book has been under careful study by scientists and it has now been updated a tad. hoping this helps you :P
No.
He, whoever he may have been, neither included nor considered such as far as anyone is aware.
However Gregor Mendel did significant work on genetics, though he did cheat.
Charles Darwin, later, proposed a theory of evolution based on natural selection.
Which is not the only theory of evolution. But seems to fit the facts.
Who had better results and conclusion out of lamarck and Darwin?
Darwin, of course. Lamarck did not have the evidence to back up his acquired characteristics and use and disuse concepts, but Darwin had massive amounts of evidence and well structured arguments for his theory of natural selection.
What is the main points of Darwin's theory of evolution?
That all organisms are variations. That there are many more organisms born than can be supported by the available resources. That their is a struggle for existence and some organisms will be better adapted to survive and out reproduce their fellow organisms. That these organisms that do this will leave descendents that have these same characteristics which will change the morphology and behavior in these population of these organisms over time.
What evidence is there for endosymbiotic theory?
One evidence is that both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular piece of DNA that actually codes for a few proteins. This DNA is of the prokaryote type and strongly suggests that the mitochondria and chloroplast were once free living organisms that, one way or another, joined in a symbiotic relationship with a proto eukaryote cell.
Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's theory?
It was where he developed his theory. The Galapagos are considered the "Laboratory of Evolution." Evolution is easily observable here.
What is the significance of Darwin's observation about the difference in Finch populations?
They differed depending on what island they were on.
How did both Darwin and Wallace fail to understand natural selection?
Both failed to understand the mechanism of inheritance. Darwin had a mistake " blending " idea and Wallace seemed to go along with this concept, though inheritance is particulate.
What does it mean when it states that evolution is just a theory?
Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection is what you are trying to talk about.
When someone says " evolution is just a theory " they are using the vulgar, common sense of the word theory. They mean guess, hunch and the like. The theory of evolution by natural selection is in the scientific sense of the word theory, which means a body of explanatory work supported by myriad lines of converging evidence that has been tested rigouusly and replicated often. Any good dictionary uses this scientific meaning of theory as the primary meaning of the word.
How has Charles Darwin's discovery helped us?
Charles Darwin's discovery of natural selection and evolution by means of natural selection revolutionized our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth. It laid the foundation for modern biology and has improved our knowledge of how species adapt to their environments over time. Darwin's work continues to inspire research in genetics, ecology, and conservation biology.
Who was Charles Darwin and what famous islands did he study?
he was a good man that praised the lord every sunday and at home and he studied the flaws and fakes island and kimberly corbett and sarah wade lives on that island
Galapagos island
Did Darwin observed the greatest diversity of organisms on the Galapagos Islands?
Yes, it was one of his biggest accomplishments.
What did people think about Darwins theory once it was released?
many got upset at first and didn't believe him and others did
What are 2 animals Darwin discover while on the galapagos island?
the 2 animals are the galapagos tortoise and the finch.
i learned it in school
What voyage did Charles Darwin take?
Darwin served as the naturalist on the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836.
How the fossils record supports the theory of punctuated equilibrium?
the fossils show massive change at one time (for instance the Grand Canyon; this massive change occurs usually from significant weather/environmental events) , and during the periods between the significant changes not much evolution (changes in genetic expression/genes) occurs.
What traits did Charles Darwin studied about finch?
Darwin studied the beak of a finch to see how it adapted to the food it ate. hope it helps, good luck!! ;)
