Question 2
Natural selection posited that more offspring were produced than an environment could actually support.Survival in a crowded environment would lead to struggle within a population, so the offspring that inherited the most desirable traits for a certain environment would ultimately survive. Over time, variations would evolve in offspring that would make them more adaptive, and ultimately over time, new species could evolve. 2 / 4

Are preformation and epigenesis the same thing? Explain why or why not.
Your Answer:
no they are not the same because epigenesis contradicts preformation in which by epigenesis meaning a fertalized human egg undergoes a specific developmental events that leads to human formation while preformation means fertilized eggs contained a small version of a completly developed adult
Preformation postulated that a fertilized egg contained a miniaturized version of a tiny human. Epigenesis directly contradicted that theory by stating that a fertilized egg undergoes a series of developmental events that eventually form a human.
