• Think and discuss: Consider the two following statements:

• The theory of evolution states that all living things had a single common ancestor.

• The translation between mRNA and amino acids is the same for all living things. (For example, the mRNA codon CAG codes for glutamine in all living things.)

Does the second statement support the theory of evolution? Explain why or why not.

If possible, discuss your answer with your teacher and classmates.

What is the statement for the Theory of Evolution, and does this statement include a description of the evolution of humans or other organisms? If you answer is no, then explain 1) how the Theory of Evolution is related to evolutionary lineages of humans and other organisms and 2) why it is appropriate to teach the Theory of Evolution. If your answer is yes, then 1) provide the definition of a Scientific Theory (as provided in lecture) versus hypothesis and 2) analyze the evidence supporting or refuting both the Theory of Evolution and the evolution of humans or other organisms.

1. Is population evolve over time is a property of all living things?

2.Is individuals evolve over time is a property of all living things?
