is the change in the gene pool over time.

a. evolution
b. adaptation
c. darwinism
d. genome
e. proteome

value: 10

populations evolve and individuals adapt.

true
false

Explanation:

• First question:
• Evolution is defined as the change in the gene pool (the collection of all genes in a population) over time.
• Adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
• Darwinism is a set of theories proposed by Charles Darwin related to evolution, but not the direct term for change in the gene pool.
• Genome is the complete set of genetic material in an organism.
• Proteome is the entire set of proteins produced by an organism.
• Second question:
• Evolution occurs at the population level as it involves changes in the gene pool.
• Adaptation is a process that individual organisms undergo to better fit their environment.

Answer:

• First question: A. Evolution
• Second question: True
