Darwin and Lamarck Assignment: The goal of this assignment is for you to gain a clear understanding of the differences between Lamarck’s hypothesis and Darwin’s theory and to clearly understand how natural selection works to change populations of organisms over time. Below are two descriptions of events surrounding Darwin’s Finches. One scenario reflects Lamarck’s hypothesis and one scenario reflects Darwin’s hypothesis.
Your Assignment:
1) Copy each scenario below into a word file and label each scenario appropriately- as either Darwin’s Natural Selection theory or Lamarck’s hypothesis of Inheritance of
Acquired Characteristics.
2) For each scenario you need to use all of the components and link them with the
appropriate sentence in the scenario. For example, in each scenario there is a sentence on environment change. This is number 1 for Lamarck and number 5 for Darwin, so you would put a 1 or 5 in front of the sentence, depending on which scenario you are working on.
(1) or (5) “A drought hits the island and there is no rain for 550 days.
There may be more than one sentence that reflects the component. You only need to
mark one example (sentence) for each component. Each scenario should have a number
for all of the components. You should use all of the components for each scenario.
