Who were the three scientists who pioneered the mathematical framework of the principles of Mendelian genetics and Evolution by natural selection?
- Francis Galton, Rosalind Franklin, and Thomas H. Morgan
- R.A. Fisher, J.B.S. Haldane, and Sewall Wright (correct)
- Alfred Russel Wallace, Hugo de Vries, and Carl Correns
- Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel, and Thomas Hunt Morgan
What were the main observations/principles on which Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection was based?
What were the main observations/principles on which Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection was based?
- All modern species descended from common ancestors, offspring were more similar to their parents than to unrelated individuals, there was variation among individuals in a population, and some individuals with some phenotypes are more successful than others in survival and reproduction (correct)
- All individuals in a population are identical, there is no variation among individuals, and natural selection is the only process driving evolutionary change
- Offspring were more similar to their parents than to unrelated individuals and there was no variation among individuals in a population
- All modern species descended from common ancestors and natural selection was not the main process driving evolutionary change
What did Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection fail to demonstrate?

- Inability to demonstrate that there was variation among individuals in a population
- Inability to demonstrate that all modern species descended from common ancestors
- Inability to demonstrate that offspring were more similar to their parents than to unrelated individuals
- Inability to demonstrate that natural selection could explain all variation (correct)
