Answer 5

Charles Darwin

Question 6

Refers to the species that evolved over time, giving rise to the new species and share a common ancestor

Answer 6

Evolution

Question 7

Answer 7

Natural Selection

Question 8

What are the information that genes hold about its every conceivable aspect:

Answer 8

Growth, development, behaviour, appearance, physiology and reproduction

Question 9

Explains the
adaptations of organisms and
the unity and diversity of life

Answer 9

Descent with modification by natural selection

Question 10

Why are children not exact carbon copies of either of their parents

Answer 10

One of the genes of the parent is combined with the genes of another parent organism

Question 11

Three basic concepts that are
helpful in clarifying how descent with
modification works:

Answer 11

•Genetic mutation
•Individual ( or natural ) selection
•Evolution of the population

Question 12

True or Flase
Individuals do not evolve; only populations evolve

Answer 12

True

Question 13

Three important points that need to be emphasised about evolution through natural selection

Answer 13

1. Individuals do not evolve. A population is the
   smallest group that can evolve over time

2.Characteristics acquired by an organism during its
lifetime may enhance its survival and reproductive
success

3. Environmental factors vary from place to place
   and from time to time
