questiony

OpenStudy (abhisar):

?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay so im doing this report on natural selection familiar with that?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I think so, go ahead.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay lemme get the exact info .. just a sec

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

solid scientific evidence, which can include whatever might be relevant from the fossil record, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, molecular biology, and/or observed changes

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

these are the things that need to be included ^^ essay form

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I won't lie but I am really bad at these type of questions.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

but but but you're an owlfred doctor ? nah jk but its okay.. thanks for taking a look at it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I might be more useful in conceptual questions. Like ask me something you want to understand.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

nat·u·ral se·lec·tion nounBIOLOGY the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

im kind of confused what my assignment is looking for

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Do you understand natural selection?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

You there?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

i have a broad understanding @Abhisar

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

@ILovePuppiesLol

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

yes?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

halp me

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

give me a screenshot of the exact question

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

You missed out on Abby helping you with a question, rip

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

That guy is like the best person for biology on OS

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

lol

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

._. ikr

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

http://prntscr.com/ahvvb1 @ILovePuppiesLol

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

u have to write an article ._.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

what do u not get about the assignment

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

yeah i know but im confused

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

what are u guys learning about right now

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

natural selection

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

i have to write my own 7 page research paper ;~;

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

oh i love that

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

@ILovePuppiesLol remember how i helped you rewrite a paper? remember when helped you with math problems?

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

yes i do remember

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

well you need to save me from confusion bc this girl has been waiting on me for a month

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

fine

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

first thing we do is familiarize ourselves with the things that we may need to include in ur article

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

thanks bb <3 okay so i need to figure out solid scientific evidence, which can include whatever might be relevant from the fossil record, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, molecular biology, and/or observed changes whatever this is ^^^

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

The fossil record is life's evolutionary epic that unfolded over four billion years as environmental conditions and genetic potential interacted in accordance with natural selection. It could be likened to a movie recording the history of life across nearly four billion years of geological time.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. It is closely related to evolutionary biology and phylogeny (the evolution of species). Comparative anatomy has long served as evidence for evolution; it indicates that various organisms share a common ancestor.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

Comparative embryology is the comparison of embryo development across species. All embryos pass from single cells to multi-celled zygotes, clumps of cells called morulas, and hollow balls of cells called blastulas, before they differentiate, creating the organs and systems of the body.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through (geological) time. Organisms and biological communities often vary in a regular fashion along geographic gradients of latitude, elevation, isolation and habitat area.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules – such as nucleic acids and proteins – that carry out the biological processes essential for the cell's functions and maintenance.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

In science, the term observed effect refers to changes that the act of observation will make on a phenomenon being observed. This is often the result of instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. A commonplace example is checking the pressure in an automobile tire; this is difficult to do without letting out some of the air, thus changing the pressure. This effect can be observed in many domains of physics and can often be reduced to insignificance by using better instruments or observation techniques.

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

ok now that we have this here

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

we need to figure out why each of these relate to natural selection

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

and write about them

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

does that make the instructions clearer?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

puppies this is flooding my brain

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

these will have everything u need to write ur article

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Woah Iʻve been in chat this whole time

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

and you guys have been doing stuff

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

read about each thing and determine how they relate to natural selection then write about the theory of natural selection and how each of these are related to natural selection

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

bec is that good?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

thx

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

the fossil record shows how organisms have evolved/changed over millions of years because the bones can show how the organisms changed each generation after generation, just a hint, since natural selection/evolution has to do with the most well fit organisms surviving to have offspring

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

@rebeccaxhawaii

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

yeah i got it thx so much for your help ^.^

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

no problem

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

lol shad @ShadowLegendX
