Evоlutiоn miscоnceptions Below is а quote from the fiction novel “Cаtching Fire”, the second book in the Hunger Gаme series. While your professor is a big fan, she can’t help but notice some of the misconceptions about evolution present in the book…. From Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, 2009, pp.91-92: “It’s a funny choice, a mockingjay,” I said. “I mean, because of what happened in the rebellion. With the jabberjays backfiring on the Capitol and all.” The jabberjays were ‘muttations’, genetically enhanced male birds created by the Capitol as weapons to spy on rebels in the districts. ... The rebels caught on and turned them against the Capitol... When this was discovered, the jabberjays were left to die. In a few years, they became extinct in the wild, but not before they had mated with female mockingbirds, creating an entirely new species. …They hadn’t counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to pass on its genetic code, to thrive in a new form. They hadn’t anticipated its will to live. The quote contains several misconceptions about evolution and biology (the word muttations is not one of them). Identify TWO misconceptions in the quote and EXPLAIN why they are incorrect. (2-4 sentences each)
