Correct Answers

Methodological |Naturalism |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-based |on |premise |that |our |senses |( |and |
extensions |of |the |senses |through |instruments) |gives |accurate |info |about |the |universe
3 |main |questions:
What |is |there?
How |does |it |work?
How |did |it |come |to |be |this |way?
Uniformitarianism |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-proposed |that |geologic |features |result |from |
continuous |processes |which |are |still |at |work |today |(Charles |Lyell)

, Classic |view |of |species |(Modern |Synthesis) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-organismal |populations |
are |well-adapted |to |the |environment, |there |should |be |little |genetic |variation |within |
populations

fitness |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-measure |of |relative |ability |of |an |organism |to |create |viable |
offspring
selective |agent |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Any |factor |that |brings |about |differences |in |
reproductive |success

adaptation |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-phenotypic |trait |that |confers |differential |reproductive |
success |to |the |individuals |possessing |it
materialism |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-posits |that |the |only |thing |that |exists |is |matter, |all |things |
