Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Descent with modification
Concept:

Darwin summarized his entire evolutionary theory into a single, elegant phrase.

Solution:

  • The central, overarching theme of Darwinism is Descent with modification.
  • This concept means that all current living species are descendants of older, ancestral species. As lineages branched off through generations, they accumulated modifications (adaptations) suited to their specific ways of life.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Use and disuse / Acquired characters: These are the main points of Lamarckism.
  • Artificial Selection: This was a tool Darwin used to explain natural selection, not the main point of biological evolution itself.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
