What would most likely occur over time if new technologies gave us information that challenged what scientists currently understand about natural selection?
Darwin developed the theory of evolution to explain why there are so many different kinds of living things. He could easily observe that offspring of any animals were slightly different from their parents and that this could allow for big changes over thousands of years. He did not know that genes caused the differences. Genes are now very important in the modern theory of evolution.
Which hypothesis most likely inspired Leeuwenhoek’s experimentation with new technology?
Albert Einstein changed the way we think about gravity by using the results of many new experiments to explain that giant objects like Earth bend the space around them. According to Einstein, this bending of space makes smaller objects move toward larger objects.
