Question

True or False As individuals we can see ourselves evolve

Answer 1

An

Step-by-step explanation:

While it is possible for these individuals in a species to mutate and have changed made to their DNA, evolution is a term specifically defined by the change in DNA of the majority of a population. In other words, mutations or adaptations do not equal evolution.

Answer 2

False!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of the great misconceptions about evolution. Individuals DO NOT evolve! The smallest unit of evolution is a population.

Evolution is the change in gene frequency over time. Think about it... do your genes change over your lifetime? Nope. You are stuck with the genes you received from your parents.

HOWEVER... the gene frequency in a population is able to change and shift. In one generation there may be lots of individuals with brown hair, but years later there may be no more brunettes because brown hair wasn't considered as attractive as blonde hair (I'm a brunette, so I can say that hehe :) In this case, the frequency of the brown hair gene changed.

Each of the individuals' genes stayed the same, but over the years the population's gene frequencies change and that is evolution.
