statement about evolution is FALSE? 1. Natural selection is about slow but steady progress. Through it‚ populations constantly get better-adapted. When this process is completed for all populations‚ evolution will come to a stop. 2. According to evolutionary theory‚ you are related to a bacterium‚ to a yeast cell‚ to a snake‚ and to a whale.

Explain how the Human and Natural Sciences are similar.

The relative importance of genetic drift and natural selection on flower colour in the annual desert plant Linanthus parryae‚ whose dominant blue and recessive white phenotypes are controlled mostly by one gene‚ is debated. Epling and Dobzhansky found that spatial distribution of blue- and white-flowering plants was consistent with genetic drift‚ and Wright found that spatial distribution was consistent with that expected in isolation by distance‚ both supporting the predominant importance of genetic
