Question

1.What are the most common misconceptions about evolution and why are they not valid arguments against evolution?

2.The key component of the theory of evolution is natural selection. Define this process. Why is it commonly known as “survival of the fittest”? What are examples of factors (selective pressures) that drive evolution of populations?

3.What is the indirect evidence of evolution? What are homologous and analogous structures? What is convergent evolution? How does similarity of proteins between different species support the idea of evolution?

Explanation / Answer

1. The major misconceptions are:-

A) evolution has never been observed

B) evolution violates second law of thermodynamics

c) there are no transitional fossils

d) evolution processed by random chance

e) evolution is only a theory , it as never been proved.

All the above mentioned misconcpetions are not valid arguments because the total entropy always remain concerved because the heat lost is equal to heat gain, moreover evolution is a slow and gradual process , one needs to analyse many generation before coming to a solution. change is feature is the biggest proof, so it is a proved theory.
