Evolution Assessment
30 Questions, ALL multiple choice.
Due:
Do you think humans are evolving? Why or why not?
Darwin proposed that in order for evolution to occur, there must be 4 steps...overproduction, variation, selection event, and eventual adaptation. Overproduction means that more species is born than the environment can possibly sustain. Variation means that there are differences within a species. A selection event means that an even must occur in which one of the variations is more advantageous than another. Eventually, over many many many years, the "better" trait will be the one that is passed on in the entire species.
