    over the world‚ have developed into unique survivalist. Natural selection has allowed many species to use their survival instincts against their predators. Likewise‚ many species have showed great skill of survival. Let’s use humans‚ for example; we are part of the endotherm family; naturally we generate heat within our bodies‚ and we eliminate heat‚ when we sweat. This skill helps us to run longer distances‚ when our prey can’t. Natural selection works for all sorts of species. Even the behavior of

    The relative importance of genetic drift and natural selection on flower colour in the annual desert plant Linanthus parryae‚ whose dominant blue and recessive white phenotypes are controlled mostly by one gene‚ is debated. Epling and Dobzhansky found that spatial distribution of blue- and white-flowering plants was consistent with genetic drift‚ and Wright found that spatial distribution was consistent with that expected in isolation by distance‚ both supporting the predominant importance of genetic

    caused by radiation or toxic chemicals. The second is Natural selection. Natural selection is the biological characteristics that enhance survival‚ they will increase in frequency from generation to generation. Fitness has a lot to do with Natural selection. Fitness is the ability for an offspring to survive and of course reproduce ‚ therefore giving it’s genotypes to the next generation. There are four basic principles within Natural selection. There is variation‚ heritable‚ populations may have

    UNIT 1 – LESSON 2 NOTES Natural Selection and Evidence for Evolution:  The mechanism for evolution is called Natural Selection to distinguish it from Artificial Selection.  Evolution occurs at the population level because genetics don’t change. The frequencies of different genetic types (genotypes) within a population do change over time & can create new species.  There is genetic variation in all populations; some individuals are successful at surviving and finding resources & produce

    Chapter ten focused primarily on evolution and natural selection. Evolution are the changes in traits‚ phenotypes‚ of groups of organisms over time. Darwin was influenced by Lamark and Malthus‚ who were other scientists during his time. Lamar believed that acquired characters are passed on to offspring. For example‚ giraffe necks would change for “adaptation”. Giraffes would be born with longer necks. Malthus believed that populations try to go beyond support capacity. He believed they go through

    Pervious studies focused on natural selection by predation being a strong contributing factor of polymorphic color distribution in a population. While there is some truth in this model‚ it may overlook the importance that sexual selection plays‚ as will be depicted in the following examples. Many examples demonstrate that animals in a particular species tend to mate with individuals that share similar color patterns‚ in fact it is rare to see individuals with dissimilar color patterns mate.

For example‚ a group of nerve cells form a nerve tissue. They are organised to work together to perform specific functions as the result of cells in the human body
