1. Describe how the process of natural selection works, and how it results in adaptations (Darwin's Observations and Conclusions) • How does unequal reproductive success lead to natural selection? What are adaptations? Explain Darwin’s observations and conclusions. • Describe evolution by natural selection? What are some important points about evolution?
2. Describe examples of and evidence for evolution by natural selection that can be seen in your daily life.
3. Discuss the different kinds of evidence that support the theory of evolution. • What is artificial selection? What are some natural selection in action? Explain how evolution explains the diversity and unity of life.
4. Define evolution, and explain the different mechanisms that can result in evolution. • How do fossil records provide evidence for evolution? • What is biogeography and how does evolution account for the distribution of species? • What is genetic variation and Darwinian fitness? What are some mechanisms of evolution including genetic drift, founders effect, bottleneck effect, gene flow and sexual selection.
1. Natural selection theory was given by Charles Darwin. According to him, nature select the individual which fit best to the environmental.confition and able to reproduce.An organism has a potential to reproduce and produce offspring. But the probability of the offspring to survive depends on how it is surviving in the environmental conditions. If the offspring it's able to survive, it means they have adapt with changing environmental conditions. This individual has a high chance of passing the traits to its successive generation.
Unequal reproductive success means all organisms have it's own ability to produce offspring. If the organism is suited to the environmental conditions, it will be able to produce more offspring as compared to those who are not able to adapt with changing environmental conditions.
Adaptation is the process where organism bring some changes in them, so that they are better suited to the environment.
Darwin observation and conclusion are:
1. Different members of the same population are different in their inherited traits.
2. All the species have a capacity to produce many offspring, but only those offspring which will adapt them with external surrounding, will able to survive further.
Evolution by natural selection :
Evolution is on going process. It always occur. Natural selection means that each individual of population have specific traits, If the traits are useful, they are preserved for future generations. If not, they will be loss in subsequent generation.
Some points about evolution are :
1. Evolution is the process by which each individual adapt them with external environmental conditions.
2. Each organism have specific ability to cope with environments
3. Evolution is always ongoing.
4. Evolution leads to gradual development of organism .

Questino 7. How I genetic drift different from natural selection? A. Natural Selection occurs because some alleles confer higher fitness, whereas genetic drift occurs because of sampling error. B. Natural selection has a stronger effect in large population, whereas genetic drift acts primarily in small populations. C. Natural selection is a mechanism of evoltion, whereas genetic drift is not a mechnaism but an outcome of evolution. D. Natrual selection tends to cause very rapid evolution whereas gentic drift tends to...
What are Darwin's four observations concerning natural selection? List and briefly explain each one with an example. How does natural selection impact evolution? Your response must be a minimum of 200 words.
Describe Darwin's theory of Natural Selection as a means of Transmutation of Species. Focus especially on how the struggle for life produces new species. The theory as Darwin knew it was incomplete, allowing 19th century biologists and psychologists to believe in varying theories of evolution. What do we now know about in biology that Darwin did not that makes the current “NeoDarwinist” paradigm complete?
1.How did Darwin’s Beagle voyage lead to the concept of natural selection? What are some key points? 2.What is gene flow? How is this important to recovering from genetic drift? Please type
explain difference between natural selection and genetic drift and how each can influence evolution in different ways. Should not be less than 200 words
1. Define: phylogeny 2. Describe natural selection and give an example of natural selection at work in a population over time. 3. Why are vestigial structures considered to be evidence for evolution? 4. What are some other types of things cited as evidence for evolution? 5. What is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution?
What are Darwin’s four observations concerning natural selection? List and briefly explain which each one with an example. How does natural selection impact evolution. Please answer with a minimum of 200 words.
1. A major goal in macroevolution is to elucidate the causes of phenotypic trends. Describe at least one type of phenotypic pattern examined in the fossil record (note: this could be some pattern related to the average morphology over time or the variation over time). 2. The neo-Darwinian paradigm is often described as having three pillars: 1: natural selection operates at the individual level, 2: natural selection is the creative force in evolution (generates adaptations), 3: microevolution + time results...
Which condition can lead to two populations becoming different species? all of these A barrier to gene flow exists between the two populations. Individuals in the two populations have significant genetic differences from one another. Individuals may live in geographically isolated areas. Individuals in the two populations mate at different times. Which of these is NOT an example of adaptive evolution? bottleneck all of these gene flow founder effect Mutation Which of these does NOT influence allele frequencies in a...
