Answer 1

1. Evolution is “just” a theory(False)

Explanation- evolution can not be experimented scientifically. Many scientists across the globe have been put forward to explain how evolution has occured.

2. Evolution explains the origin of life(False)

Explanation- evolution explains about the modern view after life was originated.

3. Evolution is entirely random.(False)

Explanation- There are two types of evolution. A) entirely random,B) non random. Mutation is the best example of entirely random evolution. Natural selection is the best example of non random mutation.

4. Evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics(False)

Explanation- Earth is opened system. With the help of sun,earth fulfils it's energy source requirements.

5. Organisms evolve adaptations they “need”. (False)

Explanation- In evolution organisms can not evolve "need".

According to Darwin, natural selection is the only option in evolution.

6. Evolution always moves from simple to complex.(False)

Explanation- It always moves from simple to come or vice-versa. Only those species survive which convert from simple toh complex.

7. Organisms are perfectly adapted to their environments.(False)

Explanation--The natural selectiion is an automatic and self going process which keep check on the population. The organisms which are provided with favourable variation would serve as they are fit to face the surrounding while indira are destroyed.

8. Evolution happens for the good of the species

(False)

Explanation- it can not happen for the good of the species.The limited resources increases competition among the individuals.only those species survive which wins this struggle for their existence.
