Blog 8 Give examples of the different types of natural selection. Give an example for each.

There are many different types of natural selection but here are two.

One example of natural selection would be Stabilizing selection : this is when two traits are used to create a third trait that uniforms the two other traits so that they wont be so far alike.For example, when I take a shower in the morning in order for me to be comfortable with the water I have to balance out the water between hot and cold, which makes warm. That is how i become comfortable with taking a shower.

Another example would be Directonal selection, this type of selection is used to pick out one specific trait. For example , say if I only want to choose a house with a pool I would locate all the houses near me that have pools. This way I'm choosing exactly what I want.

Blog 7 What was dangerous about Darwin's idea?

Darwin's theory was DANGEROUS because he believed in science. which he thought was better than the religous explanations society believed. Darwin could have been charged for going against the Anglican Church and society. This could have made Darwin an enemy to the religious society

Blog#6 There are many types of evolution convergent and divergent are two. Look them up. Define them and give an example of each type of evolution.

Convergent evolution is when different species show a similar trait that both of them share but did not come from the same ancestor. For example, birds and bats have one similar characteristic which is their wings, but their ancestors are different. They are constructed different but both have the same abilities.

Divergent evolution is when they do share a common ancestor but differ in structure and function. Due to the fact that a species must adapt to different environments, that one common structure becomes different physically and is used for other purposes. Sometimes this results in a new species. For example, the Galapagos Finches used to live on the same Island and had the same beak but as they flew away to different enviroments and adapted differently. That is how their beaks changed.

Blog 5 explain how different species form speciation

One way speciation can happen is by a natural disaster causing geographic isolation. Geographic isolation is when the environment of a species seperates causing a new specie(s) to be created. For example, if an earthquake was to happen in between the ocean causing seperation between two creatures that are the same, a new species would emerge because they would have to learn to survive in the new enviroment.

Blog #4 summarize what Darwin said about evolution

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is about "Natural selection." Natural selection is a process in which, Darwin explains how good traits are passed on in order for species to survive in future generations. He also discovered that all species came from one ancestor and branched out to become the tree of life.
