Question

Easy evolution questions. State true or false and explain why it's true or false please, and thanks

1) When evolution occurs we would expect different regions with similar enviornments to all contain the same mix of plants and animals.
2) Artificial selection is not an evolutionary mechanism.
3) The effects of mutations on the evolutionary success of organisms are always unfavorable.
4) in divergent evolution, two or more species grow closer together in behaviorand other traits.
5) The theory of punctuated equilibrium is accepeted as the correct explanation for the pace of evolutionary change.

Explanation / Answer

1) False. Evolution can be caused by random mutation. Not all organism would have similar mutations. 2.True. Artificial selection is man made like dog-breeding therefore it is not evolutionary mechanism. 3. False. Not always some mutations are favorable which makes an organism more adaptive to its environment. 4. False. divergent evolution is when one specie separates and becomes a new species from mechanism such as isolation. 5. True. This is where the phylogeny looks like a branching diagram. It means that we are all at one point similar but through evolution we become separate species.
