All except which of the following observations below support the ideas presented in Darwin's sketch "I think" of the Tree of Life? Mockingbirds on different islands of the Galapagos have different markings. Fossils of extinct animals resemble animals living today. Animals that are extinct were much larger than animals living today. Tortoises from different islands of the Galapagos have different shells. Darwin suggested that artificial selection is the process by which descent with modification (the evolutionary alteration and diversification of ancestral species) occurs. True False

Step 1
Mockingbirds from different islands of the Galapagos have different markings: This supports Darwin's idea of species adapting to their environment and diverging from a common ancestor. So, this observation supports the Tree of Life. Show more…

Which of the following explains Darwin's theory of natural selection? 1. Individuals in a population with traits best suited for that environment survive and increase in number. 2. Present organisms are related to and descended from past organisms. 3. More recent species of organisms are changed descendants of earlier species.

Which statement contradicts Darwin's observations and ideas? Changes in the environment can play a role in evolution. The smallest entity that can evolve is an individual organism. Individuals can acquire new characteristics when they respond to new environmental situations. Inherited variation in a population is necessary for natural selection. Natural populations tend to produce more offspring than the environment can support.
