    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…

    the 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…

    as an 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. However, some scientist believed…

    Artificial and natural selection have many similarities and differences. These two concepts were both conceived by Charles Darwin. Natural selection is defined as the process where organisms have characteristics that help allow them to adapt to environmental problems, like changes in climate, predators, or competition for food. These organisms tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers than the other fraction of their species. This guarantees that the prolongation of those…

    process to affect the allele, gene variant, frequency. Natural selection is one of these mechanisms. The process of natural selection comes down to variation, differential reproduction, and heredity. In other words, natural selection occurs when there is a variation in traits and one of those traits makes it more likely for individuals with that trait to survive and reproduce, allowing them to pass down that trait to a new generation. Natural selection could be an explanation as to how the…

    it figured out. Charles Darwin was a naturalist and geologist, he changed the world with his theory of natural selection and how everything evolves. When Darwin finished his voyage he put his theory out there to the world, taking the risk of knowing the aftermath might not be so good. The theory of evolution by natural selection was created by Charles Darwin in 1836. Darwin believed that natural selection is how “new species evolve from earlier species.” His theory was that organisms could…
