FOCUS ON GRAMMAR

I. Look at the following sentences and identify the types of conditionals in them

1. If these were the only processes of evolutionary change, the organization of living things would gradually disintegrate.

2. If we now know and understand most of the mechanisms of organic evolution, why are there still any disagreements about the broad subject itself?

4. If it is accepted that all of these skeletons inherited their structures from a common ancestor and became modified only as they adapted to different ways of life, the similarity of their structures makes sense

5. If humans did not overuse natural resources, many species wouldn’t have become extinct.

II. Match the halves of the sentences from columns A and B

If acquired characteristics could be inherited,… 4. Unless extraordinary defense mechanisms existed in Precambrian times,… 5. If species become too narrowly adapted to a given environment,… 6. If new genes are produced in a freely interbreeding population,… 7. If African human populations had developed tools that allowed them to hunt large game effectively,… 8. If large numbers of organic molecules were somehow synthesized on the primitive Earth,… 9. When a chlorophyll-containing cell is exposed both to light and to oxygen, it is killed,… 10.

4. But heredity is not a perfectly conservative process; ______, evolution could not have taken place.

5. ______ a child inherits the allele for tongue rolling from at least one parent, he or she will be able to roll the tongue.

7. ______ an individual’s genetic information becomes widely available, it could give health insurers cause to deny coverage to people with certain risk factors or encourage employers to reject certain high-risk job applicants.

8. Because some of the bones are crushed and distorted, the face and braincase are warped and provide less anatomical information than they _______ would.
