1.explain why only populations evolve but individuals do not. Beas specific as possible.
2.explain how DNA plasmids and bacteria are used in a cloningproject such as our lab experiments with the red florescent protein(rfp). Be as specific as possible.
3.A common argument against the use of Genetically Modifiedcrops is the possibility of the formation of "superweeds" or weedsthat have obtained genetic traits from GM plants. In 2-4 sentences,compare and contrast how superweeds could cause the same types ofenvironmental problems as the introduction of exotic species intoecosystems. Be specific in your answer.
4.You get into a discussion with a fellow student who believesin intelligent design. This student says that evolution is just atheory and offers the following arguments against evolution: (1)evolution has never been observed; (2) there is missing evidencefor evolution, such as transitional fossils; (3) evolution violatesthe 2nd law of thermodynamics; (4) the theory of evolution saysthat life originated, and evolution proceeds, by random change.Pick one of these arguments and explain how you would refute thisargument. Be as specific as possible.
