What is evolution?
Gradual change in living organisms
View source
What does a phylogenetic tree represent?
Evolutionary
relationships among species
View source
Who proposed the theory of natural selection?
Charles Darwin
View source
What are the steps of natural selection?
Variation among
individuals
Overproduction of
offspring
Differential survival and reproduction
Heritable traits passed to next generation
View source
What is the first premise of natural selection?
Heritable variation
exists among individuals
View source
What does overproduction of offspring lead to?
Competition for
limited resources
View source
How does differential reproductive success affect evolution?
Only certain individuals reproduce
successfully
View source
What is the significance of common ancestry in evolution?
Species
diverge from common
ancestors
View source
What is convergence in evolutionary biology?
Unrelated
species
develop similar traits
View source
How do species adapt to their environments?
Through
natural selection
and
evolution
View source
What is the role of genetic variation in evolution?
It provides the raw material for
selection
View source
What happens to species that cannot adapt?
They may face
extinction
View source
How do environmental pressures influence evolution?
They select for
advantageous traits
View source
What is the outcome of successful adaptation?
Increased chances of
survival
and
reproduction
View source
How do genetic changes occur in populations over time?
Through processes like
mutation
and
selection
View source
What is the significance of studying evolutionary patterns?
It helps understand
species
adaptation
and diversity
View source
How do evolutionary biologists use phylogenetic trees?
To trace
evolutionary
relationships
among
species
