ANSWERS 100% SOLVED
True or False? Biodiversity on Earth will likely decrease in the near future. -
ANSWERTrue
True or False? Scientists believe in evolution even though they currently lack
evidence for the theory. - ANSWERFalse
T/F: artificial selection requires heritable variation in a trait - ANSWERTrue
T/F: populations likely stopped evolving after 25 generations likely because no
variation in lethal temperature - ANSWERTrue
T/F: populations stopped evolving after 25 generations likely because no genetic
variation in lethal temperature remained - ANSWERTrue
T/F: Human height is likely controlled by one gene with two alleles. - ANSWERFalse
T/F: The eye color of the children was likely determined by blending inheritance. -
ANSWERFalse
T/F: The ability to digest milk likely varies genetically between African populations. -
ANSWERTrue
T/F: The ability to digest milk likely conferred a reproductive advantage in
populations that relied on cows for nutrition. - ANSWERTrue
T/F: Opposition to irrational numbers was based on evidence that such numbers
cannot exist. - ANSWERFalse
T/F: Opposition to irrational numbers stemmed from a worldview involving
naturalistic evolution. - ANSWERFalse
T/F: The belief that irrational numbers cannot exist reflects religion more than
science. - ANSWERTrue
T/F: Modern mathematicians accept irrational numbers because such numbers
provide more accurate solutions to problems than whole numbers do. -
ANSWERTrue
T/F: An experiment enables one to demonstrate that a correlation between two
variables results from cause and effect. - ANSWERtrue
T/F: Biologists used induction to hypothesize that snakes use pits to see heat. -
ANSWERtrue
, T/F: Biologists used induction to predict the percentage of times that snakes with
sealed pits would choose the cool box. - ANSWERfalse
T/F: Each treatment (sealed pits vs. unsealed pits) was replicated 20 times. -
ANSWERFALSE
T/F: The experiment would be flawed if snakes were not randomly assigned to each
treatment. - ANSWERtrue
T/F: The group of snakes whose pits were left unsealed served as a control in this
experiment. - ANSWERtrue
True or False? Darwin's worldview when leaving England would best be described
as Creationism. - ANSWERtrue
True or False? Darwin could not have proposed natural selection without
abandoning the idea of creation. - ANSWERfalse
True or False? Natural selection occurs whenever some individuals reproduce more
than others. - ANSWERfalse
T/F: organisms evolve by natural selection? - ANSWERFalse
T/F: Unlike Wallace, Darwin did not believe that natural selection required variation
among individuals. - ANSWERfalse
T/F: Wallace used induction to develop a model of evolution by natural selection. -
ANSWERtrue
T/F: Unlike Wallace, Darwin's conceived his theory of evolution without observing
species living on islands. - ANSWERfalse
T/F: Both Darwin and Wallace must have assumed that differences among
individuals were passed onto their offspring. - ANSWERtrue
T/F: Natural selection likely generated the variation in lactose tolerance among
populations of Africans. - ANSWERTrue
T/F: If biologists sampled a population of Asians who never relied on cows for
nutrition, the majority of them likely digest lactose without difficulty. - ANSWERFalse
T/F: Lactose tolerance likely depends on genetic variation that one could artificially
select. - ANSWERTrue
True or False? Extreme temperatures of 2015 are sufficient evidence to conclude
that Earth is warming. - ANSWERFalse
True or False? When calculating a normal temperature, one should include as many
years as possible. - ANSWERFalse
