📖 1. Evolution Definition

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Evolution: The process by which heritable traits of populations change over successive generations, leading to biological diversity.
  • Natural Selection: A mechanism of evolution where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, increasing those traits in the population.
  • Genetic Variation: Differences in DNA sequences among individuals within a population, providing the raw material for evolution.
  • Adaptation: A heritable trait that increases an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in its environment.
  • Speciation: The formation of new, distinct species from a common ancestor, often through reproductive isolation.
  • Mutation: A change in the DNA sequence that introduces new genetic variation, which can be beneficial, neutral, or harmful.
