Mutations are planned
Mutations are random
Mrs. Mac likes playing with spinners
To pick the right answer
In Lab 5E, the "mutations" made the sentence ______________
a brand new, clear sentence
much better
worse/nonsense
didn't change/stayed the same
The results we got in Lab 5E ___________ the theory of evolution
Proves
Supports
Neither supports nor doesn't support
Doesn't support
Why is variety important in a population? (hint... moths, Wolves, dogs....)
So the population can adapt to changes in their environment and they aren't wiped out by those changes.
because they look cooler
To evolve into new, better creations

My friend, Drew, believes in evolution as fact. What is the best way to convince him about creationism?
Laugh at him and call him stupid
Ask him questions about evolution that show how it doesn't make sense and pray for him.
Call his pastor and tell on him
Not say anything, but talk about him behind his back
Why is it important for you to understand the Theory of Evolution?
It's not, who cares!
Because Mrs. Mac said so
Because Mrs. Mac wants us to see how believable and true it is.
Because the bible calls us to always be ready:
1 Peter 3:15 says, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have"
And we can't show how Creationism makes more sense if we don't understand what Evolution actually says.

always good
always bad
usually good
usually bad

gametes
body
brain
nose

The Grand Canyon was fomed by animals digging over time.
The Grand Canyon didn’t really form from erosion.

some of the mutations made the code (sentence) better
Some of the mutations still made a word (codon) but the sentence still didn't make sense
The mutations made more sense (better proteins) than the original sentence
The bad mutations got fixed by good mutations to make the sentence make better proteins
