What did Darwin's theory of biological evolution explain

• The theory explained how modern organisms changed slowly over a very long time and described how modern organisms came from shared ancestors.

• The theory forgot to explained how modern organisms changed slowly over a very long time and described how modern organisms came from shared ancestors.

• The theory explained how modern organisms changed very fast over a short period of time and described how modern organisms came from shared ancestors.

• The theory falsely accuses how modern organisms changed slowly over a very long time and described how modern organisms came from shared ancestors.

What ideas were changing in the scientific community at the time that Darwin traveled on the Beagle? How might these new ideas have influenced Darwin?

• Geologist were suggesting that Earth was very old and had changed over time. Biologist were suggesting the same for life on Earth. These new ideas may have influenced Darwin as he formed his theory of evolution.

• Zoologists were suggesting that Earth was very old and had changed over time. Chemists were suggesting the same for life on Earth. These new ideas may have influenced Darwin as he formed his theory of evolution.

• Cryptologists were suggesting that Earth was very old and had changed over time. Cryptozoologists were suggesting the same for life on Earth. These new ideas may have influenced Darwin as he formed his theory of evolution.

• Moms were suggesting that Earth was very old and had changed over time. Dads were suggesting the same for life on Earth. These new ideas may have influenced Darwin as he formed his theory of evolution.

What three kinds of variations among organisms did Darwin observe during the voyage of the Beagle?

• 1- species can be different around the world 2- species can be different on a local level 3- species can change over time

• 1- species can't be different around the world 2- species can be different on a local level 3- species can change over time

• 1- species maybe can be different around the world 2- species can be different on a local level 3- species can change over time

• 1- species somewhat can be different around the world 2- species can be different on a local level 3- species can change over time

Darwin found fossils of many organisms that did not resemble any living species. How might this finding have affected his understanding of life's diversity?

• He might have guessed that some species become extinct and some species survive with changes that have evolve over time

• He was absolutely sure that some species become extinct and some species survive with changes that have evolve over time

• He was making up some fan fiction that some species become extinct and some species survive with changes that have evolve over time

• He was reading that some species become extinct and some species survive with changes that have evolve over time
