Question
Which statement about evolution is FALSE? Question 1 options: According to evolutionary theory, you are related to a bacterium, to a yeast cell, to a snake, and to a whale. In fact, you are related to every species now alive on Earth, and to fossil species like dinosaurs as well. Natural selection acts on genetic differences within a population to cause evolution. Individuals do not evolve. 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. Evolution occurs constantly, without end; there is no endpoint in evolution.
Explanation / Answer
"When this process is completed for all populations, evolution will come to a stop."
Out of all the statements written above, this statement is wrong. Evolution is a continuous process and will never come to end. Even if all human species come to the end on doom's day, then also evolution will continue in some or the other manner. There is no endpoint for evolution.
Rest all statements are correct.
