May you please explain the answers to the following question with support from concepts?
This course is called Ć¢ĀĀEcology and EvolutionĆ¢ĀĀ. How does ecology drive evolution? How does evolution influence ecology?
What is a scientific theory? How are quantitative models used to advance scientific theory? Pick either the HW law or the exponential growth equation and explain how variations of the model have been used to advance evolutionary and/or ecological theory.
Evaluate Ć¢ĀĀsurvival of the fittestĆ¢ĀĀ as a definition of natural selection and biological evolution. Why is this an unsatisfactory definition?
Various concepts have been proposed for things such as populations, species, niches, and communities. Why are these sorts of questions ultimately philosophical (esp. metaphysical) rather than biological? In formulating your response, use (at least) one of the above concepts as an example.
Evaluate Ć¢ĀĀaccumulated historyĆ¢ĀĀ as a definition of biological evolution. How does this definition compare to other definitions that were presented in the course? In your response, be sure to incorporate some discussion of the concept of exaptation, as well as the importance of historical contingency in micro and macroevolution.
