In 1795, a Scottish geologist named Charles Hutton suggested that Earth’s geologic features could be explained by gradual processes that were still operating. This was in direct contrast to other scientific thought at the time, which included well-accepted proposals that geologic layers were representative of catastrophic events caused by processes no longer operating in the present time. Hutton proposed geologic features as the result of slow and consistent change, such as valleys formed by rivers wearing through rock. Hutton’s ideas were incorporated in the work of Charles Lyell, a geologist working in Darwin’s time. Lyell advocated a principle called uniformitarianism, the consistency of mechanisms of change over time. In other words, Lyell argued that the same geologic processes operating in the present had operated in the past, and at the same rate. The ideas of Hutton and Lyell influenced the work of Charles Darwin. How do Hutton’s and Lyell’s ideas connect to and provide support for Darwin’s theory of evolutionary change?a. The idea that the same processes that operate in the present also operated in the past, and at the same rate, supported Darwin’s hypothesis of natural selection because humans could select for desirable traits and produce change very rapidly, so natural selection would also be fast enough to produce the full range of diversity in living organisms.b. The idea that the same processes that operate in the present also operated in the past, and at the same rate, connects to Darwin’s hypothesis of natural selection because he had observed it happening in the presentc. The idea that geologic change is the result of slow, continuous processes rather than sudden, substantial change connects to Darwin’s support of gradualism rather than punctuated equilibrium as the process that guided evolution.d. The idea that geologic change is the result of slow, continuous processes rather than sudden, substantial change connects directly to Darwin’s hypothesis that, given enough time, slow and subtle processes could produce substantial biological change.

 Using a light microscope, it is difficult to determine if an image shows one or two properly stained bacterial cells. The difficulty in distinguishing two bacterial cells as two cells is because:
  1. Many bacteria have the same cell morphology.
  2. The microscope has poor resolution.
  3. The bacteria have poor contrast.
  4. The microscope has too much magnification.
