Introduction:
According to Darwin's theory of evolution, those members of the population with less adapted characteristics (as determined by their environment) are more likely to die. So those members with better-adapted characteristics are more likely to survive.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence "species are more advanced due to evolution" or equivalently "evolution always leads to more advanced species" is false.
According to the theory of evolution, organisms that are more adapted to certain environments survive and pass their genes from generation to generation. However, when environmental conditions change, these characteristics may not be advantageous for survival in the space where these species are found, and they may die.
An example of this is polar bears. Their fur is white, which gives them an advantage when hunting their prey since these bears can go unnoticed in the snow, which is white. However, due to global warming, this feature is no longer an advantage in certain regions where the ice has melted excessively and prey can more easily see this great hunter. However, this does not imply that the polar bear is more advanced or less advanced. It implies that the conditions of the environment influence the conditions of survival and that evolution is guided by random or provoked changes in the environment of organisms.
We can conclude that the correct answer is:
Answer:
The sentence "evolution always leads to more advanced species" is false since, according to the theory of evolution, organisms that are more adapted to certain environments survive and pass their genes from generation to generation. However, when environmental conditions change, these characteristics may not be advantageous for survival in the space where these species are found, and they may die. this does not imply that the organisms in a population are more advanced or less advanced. It implies that the conditions of the environment influence the conditions of survival and that evolution is guided by random or provoked changes in the environment of organisms.
