[QUOTE="Kylie, post: 76863082, member: 343110"] Okay, just to get things back on track here, Here's the the last statement I made and the following discussion about it with [USER=410020]@Mark Quayle[/USER]: So it seems to me that Mark has agreed with me regarding Statement 6. If you still don't agree with that statement, [USER=410020]@Mark Quayle[/USER] please let me know. But froim the sounds of it, you agree that parents have the possibility of passing on traits that are carried by genes to their offspring, and that genes that convey benefits (in other words, traits that create more opportunities to reproduce) are more likely to be passed on than traits that convey disadvantages. Statement 7: Environmental pressures play a large part in determining whether a trait is advantageous or disadvantageous. For example, a gene that causes a thicker coat of fur would be beneficial in a cold environment (and an individual with this trait is likely to have more opportunities to reproduce because it can better survive in the cold), but the same "thick fur" trait in a hot desert can be a disadvantage, causing the individual to be more likely to overheat and thus die sooner. Please note that I'm not saying that environmental pressures are the only pressure, simply that they are a major one. Do you agree with this? [/QUOTE]
