Question

Consider how to complete this timeline to show the order in which different evolutionary ideas were developed. choose from statements w, x, y, and z. w – if left unchecked, a population will outgrow its food source. x – evolution is due to the inheritance of acquired traits. y – natural selection leads to evolution. z – humans and primates should be classified together. which labels, if placed from left to right, best complete the timeline

Answer 1

The answer is c. W,X,Z

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the evolutionary timeline:(W) In 1798, Thomas Robert Malthus published an essay, "An Essay on the Principle of Population." Malthus proposed that the current rate of population growth would deplete current resources.(X) 1809 marked the publication of the first theory of evolution. Jean Baptiste Lamarck proposed that evolution occurred through the inheritance of acquired characters.(Z) In 2003, Wayne State University School of Medicine's Dr. Morris Goodman conducted studies that revealed a 99.4% genetic similarity between human and chimpanzees. This sparked a debate in the scientific community whether to include chimpanzees in the genus, Homo.* If Y is part of the choices, it comes after (X).

Answer 2

The correct answer will be w, x, y.

w- if left unchecked, a population will outgrow its food source.

x- evolution is due to the inheritance of acquired traits

y- natural selection leads to evolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1798, Thomas Robert Malthus who was an economist proposed a theory on population growth which stated that if the population is not controlled and left unchecked, their number will exceed the availability of resources but will still grow. He influenced Charles Darwin.

In 1809, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck presented his theory of evolution called "inheritance of acquired traits" in his book Philosophie zoologique.

In 1859, Charles Darwin presented his theory of evolution called "evolution by natural selection" in his book Origin of species.

Thus, w, x, y is the correct answer.
