Natural selection Natural selection is when an organism is born with a mutation that is advantageous to its species survival and reproduction. There are four components in Darwin’s theory of natural selection, the first is variation within the community of organisms as they will all exhibit different behavioural traits and have a different appearance though some characteristics stay the same like the number of eyes in vertebrates. The second is inheritance which is when a child possesses traits…

The cane toad reproductive system especially of male consists of the fat bodies and this cannot be found in a reproductive system of a common brushtail possum. The process of how sperm travels is also different between the two animals. In a common brushtail possum, the sperm travels through the vasa deferentia, which transports the sperm from the epididymis to the urethra (Venugopal, 2016. pg 3.5). While in a cane toad the vasa efferentia helps carry the sperm from the testes to the kidney and…

1. Introduction. Ernst Mayr identifies the ‘One Long Argument’ in The Origin of Species (“Origin’) as a compound theory of two independent activities: modification over time and diversification in geographical space (Mayr 86). This paper will focus on the second element of Darwin’s compound theory, species diversification in geographical space as argued by Jerry Coyne in Why Evolution is True. My thesis is twofold: First, Coyne incorporates Darwin’s geographical space theory into four…

The tiger’s main decline in Tasmania was largely due to the impact that humans had. The biggest cause of extinction…
