ANTH 170C1Quiz 2 Question 1 1 / 1 point Match the idea or concept about how species came to be what they are today with the person who came up with that idea or concept: __4__ He believed that o ... rganisms change in response to environmental conditions, and that these changes could be inherited. This is different from our current understanding of evolution and genetic inheritance where organisms do not pass on traits that are newly acquired over their lifetimes. __3__ This person came up with the theory of "natural selection" which is a similar process to artificial selection whereby some traits become more common in a population over generations of time, whereby others become less common. But instead of humans controlling which traits become more of less common, nature decides based on which individuals are best able to survive and reproduce in their environment. Over time (generations) this can lead to the formation of new species. __1__ Life forms cannot change, but can be organized by differences in similarities. This person came up with the two more classification categories in addition to genus and species: class and order. He was the first to place humans in the animal kingdom. __2__ This person sent Charles Darwin a copy of his theory which was essentially the same as Darwin's theory of natural selection, proposing that new species are descendants of older species which have changed in response to environmental pressures. Multiple Choice C2 Qu Question 2 1 / 1 point Mutations that occur during which process have the potential to be acted upon by natural selection (hint-review definition of natural selection)?

Which of the following presents the answers that accurately fill in the blanks? Question options: Question 6 1 / 1 point ___________refers to two chromosomes that have the same types of genes on them while _____________refers to an individual who has two of the same alleles for one gene. Which of the following provide the correct answers in the correct order to fill in the blanks? Question options: Question 7 1 / 1 point The principle of ________________ refers to the two copies (alleles) of a particular gene which will be separated when sex cells are created. The principle of ________________ refers to different genes that are on different chromosomes, which may or may not be separated when sex cells are created. Which of the following provides the correct answers in the correct order to fill in the blanks? Question options: [Show More]
