A) Evolution takes a long time - it is a gradual process - and produces decent results. B) Evolution is a natural phenomenon that is ongoing, changing individuals even today. C) Closely related species are similar at the genetic, developmental, and structural levels. D) Populations living today are identi...

Population - Answer - a group of individuals from the same species that occupy an area of space at the same time - can produce viable offspring - uses the same resources and are affected by similar factors Ecology - Answer - the study of how organisms interact with their environment What is population ecology? - Answer - measures changes in population size, pop composition - identifies factors that cause changes in population - studies how and why a population changes over tiime -IMP ...

Why might Pasteur's experiment be inconclusive? - Answer The swan-necked flask broth may not support cell growth, or the broth was poisoned. Experiment did not confirm hypothesis that all cells come from pre-existing cells Why are replicates important in experiments? - Answer To ensure that results were not achieved by random chance What is the definition of a replicate? - Answer Unit that shares a common thing (4 mice in one cage = 1 replicate) What does the law of succession suggest?...
