The Modern Synthetic Theory of Evolution combines Darwin’s natural selection with Mendelian genetics, emphasizing evolution as changes in allele frequencies within populations. It highlights five […]
Natural selection is the process where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on those traits to offspring. It acts […]
Microevolution and Macroevolution are two scales of evolutionary change that describe different processes and outcomes in the evolution of organisms. Microevolution refers to small, gradual […]
Neo-Darwinism, also known as the Modern Synthesis, is the theory of evolution that combines Darwin’s natural selection with Mendelian genetics. It incorporates the understanding of […]
Darwinism refers to the theory of evolution by natural selection, originally proposed by Charles Darwin. It suggests that organisms with traits better suited to their […]
Neolamarckism is a modern interpretation and modification of Lamarck’s theory of evolution. While it acknowledges the inheritance of traits acquired during an organism’s lifetime, it […]
Reproductive isolation refers to mechanisms that prevent different species or populations from interbreeding and producing viable offspring. It is crucial for maintaining species boundaries and […]
Genetic variability refers to the diversity in gene frequencies within a population, which leads to differences in the genetic makeup of individuals. It plays a […]
Adaptive radiation is the process by which a single ancestral species rapidly diversifies into a wide variety of forms to exploit different ecological niches. This […]
