Q

4 Theories of Natural Selection

A
  1. Changes in evolution is caused by the variations
  2. There is an increased survival of individuals
  3. These individuals have more opportunities to reproduce
  4. Over time, these characteristics will spread throughout
18
Q

Other theories that work well with natural selection

A

Evolution/Common Descent/Species Multiply/Gradualism/Natural Selection

19
Q

Species change as they exist through the passing of time

20
Q

Organisms come from one or common ancestors and have changed from the original

A

Common Descent

21
Q

Involves population of one species that slowly diverges until they become two separate species probably happening billions of times

A

Species Multiply

22
Q

There is no sudden creation of new species

23
Q

Individuals evolve through a change between individuals giving them a more equipped nature for survival

A

Natural Selection

24
Q

How does Natural Selection Work

A

Variation/Inheritance/Selection/Time/Adaptation

25
A population of white and grey mice
Variation
26
Organisms best suited to survive in any environment have a greater chance of passing their traits
Inheritance
27
Organisms tend to produce more than what is required to replace themselves
Selection
28
Population of living things change over time
Time
29
Individual organisms that happen to be best suited to the changing environment survive and reproduce succesfully
Adaptation
