Thank you We sneak in And here's your smoke du

00:10

jour brought to you by charles darwin whose preoccupation with

00:14

tortoises helped shape the modern world Check the following passage

00:18

You're of evolution's way bomb Who patient there's adapter Natural

00:27

selection's knows Speaks of moscow mother It has generated very

00:36

few gray models and more black All right This type

00:39

of change in the moth population would be an example

00:42

of what i hear the potential answers Evolution the profound

00:49

process that took us from neanderthal sitting in front of

00:52

cave drawings modern human sitting in front of facebook Well

00:57

the process of evolution has different components in this moth

01:00

example demonstrates one of them Let's Remove the easy answers

01:03

first genetic drift while it sounds cool kind of like

01:07

surfboard ng on the back of the double helix Well

01:10

it's not mentioned anywhere in the text so it's not

01:12

relevant here and he is out mutation is defined as

01:15

the process of genetic divergence that happens during reproduction I

01:19

offspring are slightly different than their parents but that's not

01:23

what's happening in this example so is not the answer

01:26

either Adaptation refers to a feature that's common in a

01:30

population because it provides improved functionality like the long necks

01:35

of giraffes that help them reach the trees or the

01:38

mustache is of hipsters that demonstrate their social dominance But

01:42

that's not really what the case is example Fine This

01:45

case is showing how a set Of characteristics allowed certain

01:49

populations of moss to survive better than others As the

01:53

text explains this is the process of natural selection where

01:58

those organisms with beneficial freights survived and the others not

02:03

so much so Option c is the correct answer We're

02:06

certainly glad we selected this choice It makes us feel

02:09

like a natural charles darwin would be proud Oh yeah
