- Create an informative essay showcasing the importance of evolution in our lives. With the changes in the structure of living organisms like plants and animals, how did these changes help the community of living organisms? How will the evidences found by several scientists be of help to us and to other organisms as well?arrow_forwardWhat is the origin of life or the main ancestor of all organismsarrow_forwardScientists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey set up an experiment modeling the environmental conditions thought to exist during the early stages of Earth's formation. The setup of Miller and Urey's experiment is shown below. Which conclusion about the origin of life could be drawn from the potential results of this experiment? Life assembled from chemical building blocks. Life began when water vapor became electrified. Life evolved from the DNA of simple unicellular organisms. Life began when salt water caused a mutation in an ancient virus.arrow_forward
- What is evolution and why is a basic knowledge of evolution necessary?arrow_forwardWhy is intelligent design (ID) a flawed argument? Select the statement that is FALSE. There is no way through experiments or observations to falsify the hypothesis of an Intelligent Designer. ID assumes that each molecular machinery is built from scratch, which is not true; existing proteins are often re-used. OID and evolution are both valid hypotheses, but over the years we have found more evidence pointing toward evolution. O ID assumes that systems are irreducibly complex, and that individual components cannot be removed, even though several examples exist of 'irreducibly complex' systems being reduced. en 0 3 $ 35 % ^ 6 18 & * 8 9 44 Indoor Playground with wheelsarrow_forwardThe theory of evolution has long been a part of the study of biology in its attempt to explain the diversity of different life forms.
