Question

Question 2 1/1 pt There is an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting evolution by natural selection. This evidence can be divided in five categories: artificial selection, direct observations of evolutionary change, homology, the fossil record and biogeography. Which of the following statements about each of these forms of evidence is false? a) Artificial selection,like natural selection, leads to species being well-adapted to their environment even though it is based on humans determining which variations are favorable b) Fungicides becoming less and less effective to control furigal infections in important crops such as wheat is a direct observation of evolutionary change dl Structures as different as human arms, bat wings, and dolahm fippers contain many of the sawe bones which develop from similar embryonic tissues. These structural sinilarities are a example of homology d) The fosil record documents the pattern of evolution, showing that past organisms differed from prehent-day onsnism and that many species have become extinct continental d

Explanation / Answer

Option D is the right answer.

This statement is incorrect as fossil record tells us about the now extinct past species which are similar or related and not different from the present day species.
