- is the subfield of biology that studies the evolutionary processes that produced the diversity of life on Earth, starting from a single common ancestor.

Evolutionary biology

Changes is living organism over time

Evolution

It explains how certain organims descended from ancient organisms

Evolution

is a double-chain biopolymer that consists of two twisted chain-like molecules held together by organic molecules.

DNA

Give the factors affecting biodiversity

Area and climate

Phenomenon that shapes earth surface

Pangaea, volcanism, weathering, erosion, deposition

Large areas contain more species than small areas

Area

The number of species increases from poles toward the equator

Climate

bones and other hard parts are replaced by minerals carried in solution by groundwater.

Mineralization

It is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having completely transitioned to stone by the process of

Permineralization

It is the change in inherited traits in a population over generations.

Evolution

The main cause of adaptive evolution

Natural selection

Which refers the process by which populations of organisms with variations that help them survive in their environments live longer, compete better, and reproduce more than those that do not have the variations?

Natural selection

What inherited trait that increases organism's chance of surviving and reproducing in its environment

Adaptation

Breeding of organism for desired characteristics

Selective breeding

Changes to the gene pool of a single population. Changes can occur over a short period of time.

Microevolution

If the two population can no longer interbreed, this results in new species

Macroevolution

Example of micro and macro evolution

Micro- dog


Macro- Darwin's finches

It is a mechanism of evolution that shows genetic information.

DNA

It is in the evidence of evolution that says the skeleton of gorillas are almost very similar to humans anatomical features.

Comparative anatomy

What are the 5 evidences of evolution that teacher have shown/discussed?

– Similar genes, comparative anatomy, homology, fossil record, geography

A change in the genetic structure of a population. Also refers to the appearance of new species

Evolution

States that geologic changes occurs suddenly

Catastrophism

Rock strata demonstrate that geologic processes, which are still occurring today, add up over long periods of time to cause great change

Uniformitarianism

Volcanoes, floods, and earthquakes examples of catastrophic events that once believed responsible for mass extinctions and the formation of all landform.

Catastrophism

Canyons carved by rivers show gradual change. Gradualism is the idea that changes on Earth occurred by small steps over long period of time

Gradualism

Who proposed that the earth is dynamic and changing

James Hutton

Who proposed uniformitarianism

Charles lyell

Challenge the idea that the earth was the center of the universe or heliocentric

Copernicus

Who established the laws of physics motion and gravity

Keppler, Descartes and Newton

Darwin and wallace independently proposed a theory of biological evolution and called it

Natural selection

Key concepts of evolution

Essentialism


Chain of being


Mutation


Natural selection

The ideal reality in which the perceived reality is compared and contrasted

Essentialism

A hierarchy of entities from the simplest to most complex anticipated the later rise of taxonomy

Great chain of being

He developed a system of classification and laid the basis for taxonomy and binomial nomenclature used today

Carolus linnaeus

Introduced the concept of extinction and the theory of catastrophism

Georges cuvier

Developed the theories of uniformitarianism and deep time

Charles Lyell

Natural selection is based on four main points

Variation


Natural selection


Survival of the fittest


Isolation
