Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #35970 July Prediction The Origin of Species
Instructions
In  The  Origin  of  Species,  Darwin  provided  abundant  evidence  that  life  on  Earth  has  evolved  over  time,  and  he  proposed  natural  selection  as  the  primary  mechanism  for  that  change.  He  observed  that  individuals    in  their  inherited  traits  and  that  selection  acts  on  such  differences,  leading  to    change.  Although  Darwin  realized  that  variation  in  heritable  traits  is  a  prerequisite  for  ,  he  did  not  know  precisely  how  organisms  pass  heritable  traits  to  their  offspring.  Just  a  few  years  after  Darwin  published  The  Origin  of  Species,  Gregory  Mendel  wrote  a  ground  breaking  paper  on  inheritance  in  pea  plants    that  paper,  Mendel  proposed  a  model  of  inheritance  in  which  organisms  transmit  discrete  heritable  units  (now  called  genes)  to  their  offspring.  Although  Darwin  did  not  know  about  genes,  Mendels  paper  set  the  stage    understanding  the  genetic  differences  on  which  evolution  is  based.
