BIOL 1510 Chapter Notes - Chapter 22: Biogeography, Continental Drift, Heritability
Document Summary
He adopted a classi cation system to group similar species into similar categories. He worked with fossils and noted the older the strata the more unlike the fossils were to current life forms. Idea that parts of the body are suppose to become stronger the more used inheritance of acquired characteristics- that organisms could pass modi cations towards o spring. 1. inherited characteristics of organism that enhance their survival and reproduction in certain environments. Darwin explains who adaptations arise around natural selection. a. b. was published rst by alfred russel wallace. Darwin nished his book the origin of species. Proposed by darwin that the mechanism of natural selection to help observe patterns of evolution. 1. the process in which animals with certain traits survive and reproduce better because of those traits: if animals move to another environment, this can lead to adaptation of those animals in new conditions. Biogeography the geography setting can change an organism like continental drift.
