- B. Potassium
- C. Sulphur

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.

The artificial selection in breeding provides strong evidence for evolution. What does this term mean?
The evolution of birds has long been a difficult issue for biologists until the discovery of the Archaeopteryx fossil in 1861. This ancient bird exhibited teeth, a long tail containing 20 vertebrae, and wings with movable fingers and claws. In light of the mentioned facts, who were the ancestors of the birds?
Which of the following is good evidence of an evolutionary pathway leading from reptiles to birds?
Which statement is not correct for the Darwin's theory of natural selection?
When humans purposefully apply selection pressure to populations, the process is known as:
