Evolution - Changing of things over time to benefit the organism in natural selection.

Biological evolution happened at the level population , not the individual organism level.

Lack of need, Climate change, population change
Adaptations is at population level not individual level they are a result of natural selection
Devolvment of diversity
Because a genetics re combinations mutations and othe mechanisms that lead to variation there is what Darwin called descent with modification

Mechanisms:

Natural selection:

Mutations:

Recombination:

Gene flow:

Genetic drift:

Artificial selection:

Non random mating:

Reproductive isolation:
Derectional selection. A single phenotype at one extreme of the phenotype is favoured. The populations trait distributed shifts toward an extreme

Disruptive selection favours induviduals at both extremes of a phenotype range. Can cause such differences among a species that the variation leads to new species

Stabilizing selection Favours genotypic combination that produce intermediate phenotype. Reduces phenotype variation removes more severe phenotype a
B
Genetic drift is the chance change due to a small population size
Bottle neck effect
Populations are reduced to a small size and recover
Unlikely to be represent ice of original population
Allele frequencies change
Founder effect
Like bottleneck but population grows
Results in revolution
Migration of induviduals between populations potentially introduces new alleles in a population or alters existing allele frequencies
Artificial selection
Non random mating
Recombination leads to genetics material being shuffles this along with sexual reproduction
Grouping organisms based on evolutionary history
Cladogram diagram that shows evolutionary relationships
Traces evolution by focusing on derived characteristics that appear in some organisms but not others
Deprived trait appears recently parts of

    When an extinction event leaves two organisms of a whole species, the genetic pool is extremely limited. Between those two organisms, it is improbable that they hold all genetic variations for the species’ genome. Within this limited pool, any overlap or similar genes shared between the one male and one female will also have an effect on the new population. Another effect of a population bottleneck is small sample…

    Darwin's hypothesis of Natural Selection has three tenets: 1. There requirements to a hereditary variety among the populace 2. The quality must be passed on by hereditary means from parent to posterity and 3. There must be a "differential conceptive achievement" in view of people; while those with the attribute ought to replicate and have a superior possibility of making due than those without it. Every one of the three of these stipulations must be met with the goal of advancement to happen. A balancing out heading is the point of which it supports a decline in the attributes that are outrageous and not normal by the vast majority of the populace. A directional determination is a point at which the normal characteristic changes after some…

    Living things that are well adapted to their environment survive and reproduce. Those that are not well adapted don’t survive and reproduce. Any inherited trait that increases an organism’s ability to survive is called an adaptation. Remember that these adaptations are inherited traits; they are not changes that an individual chooses to make and that increases fitness, which is defined as the ability to survive and reproduce.…
