Document Summary
Competition for survival survival of the fittest . Survival is not random and depends partially on the heritable constitution of the individuals. Over generations, natural selection leads to gradual change in the population (evolution) and production of new species (speciation) Darwin developed a theory about the origins of life. Evolution is like climbing a ladder of progress. Natural selections involves species trying to adapt. Rather, natural selection favors species that are best adapted in a given environment. Understanding of how other forces of evolution work. A unified theory of evolution that combines. Discovery of the molecular basis of evolution dna genetics with natural selection. Identified all human genes including those that code for cystic fibrosis, breast cancer, and alzheimer"s disease. What does the geneic code mean? (dna) Transfer of biological information from parents to offspring. How information is transferred from parent to offspring. Looked at 7 traits with 2 variants. Looked at peas that came in the pods.
