Using an evidencebased approach based on information and obs

Using an evidence-based approach, based on information and observations from this lab, argue either for or against the contention that evolution through natural selection with adaptive radiation is an overarching theoretical framework that explains the current diversity of living organisms.

Solution

Natural selection explains about the survival of the fittest that is nature selects the best gene to thrive. And it is passed on from one generation to other and which is supposed to have brought current diversity in living organisms. A gene confers a particular trait or character and that must cope with the environment available. If that trait couldn\'t cope up with the environment, eventually in next generation that gene will not be expressed or get eliminated and this process is called natural selection. This is supposed to be natural flow behind diversity of living organisms.

In your lab results, if above mentioned is the case then answer is for natural selection and not against.
