However, since a lot of people disagreed with Natural Selection, this gave rise to different alternatives to explain the variations of species. Additionally, many naturalists who came up with the different alternatives, the methodology of Natural Selection didn’t appeal to them because it was immoral for an…

    The four forces of evolution include natural selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Natural selection is the foremost force in evolution. It states that biological traits which increase survival will become more frequent in each subsequent generation. It is the most prominent force in evolution because members of a population that inherit these traits live longer, and produce more offspring. Another force of evolution is mutation, the only cause of new genetic material. A mutation is…

    changes that occur randomly in the frequency of alleles which impact populations of many species. These also lead to effects such as bottle neck and founders effect. Natural Selection revolves around the concept of fitness which basically means to survive and pass on your genes to the next generations. Further natural selection has four principles which include variation, heritability, the number of offsprings of people are greater than the available resources and finally, favourable…

    Charles Darwin is a scientist that came up with the theory of natural selection to explain variation and evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype (Zimmer&Emlen, 2013). This means that in an environment where the condition is constantly changing, species that stay in that environment and use it as their habitat adapt to the changes of the environment to survive the changes and their off springs are also able to…

    answer to questions in biology. He as the father of evolution contributed the most to our modern science. Even in this present his theories such as natural selection is still used, like a simple mathematical equation. We all know that two plus two equal four, however, did we ever question why? Taking this in consideration, his natural selection theory was based on idea:” Survival of the Fittest”. In which strong will survive and the weak will perish.

    the most influential scientists to deal with evolution was Charles Darwin. He is known for creating “The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection” in 1859. Darwin’s theory states that there are specific mechanisms that must occur for evolution to happen. The mechanisms needed for evolution are natural selection, genetic flow, mutations, and gene flow. Natural selection is one of the biggest components needed for evolution to take place. It is centered around the environment and each organism’s…

    result of natural selection. Natural selection is a theory that is focused around five main ideas. It begins with the idea of the variation that exists in a natural species. Variation can come from mutations in a species as well as from the crossing over between homologous chromosomes that occurs in sexual reproduction, specifically meiosis. Both of these factors are important in causing different organisms to develop independently and produce unique offspring. The second idea of natural…
