Summary Paper #1: What is Natural Selection? The YouTube video is narrated by Jon Perry‚ an artist‚ and founder of Stated Clearly. Perry purports a deep appreciation of science‚ and a strong desire to create a bridge between the general public and the scientific community. Perry has created twelve informative‚ educational videos so far. In this video‚ Perry addresses the question for which the video shares the same name‚ “What is Natural Selection?”. Natural selection is one of three concepts

exists in many oxidation states‚ with arsenic (III) and (V) being the most common forms. Similar to many metalloids‚ the prevalence of particular species of arsenic depends greatly on the pH and redox conditions of the matrix in which it exists. Speciation is also important in determining the toxicity of arsenic. Arsenic minerals exist in the environment principally as sulfides‚ oxides‚ and phosphates. In igneous rocks‚ only those of volcanic origin are implicated in high aqueous arsenic concentrations

MacArthur (1965) local dynamics happened quickly compared to regional dynamics and so due to the filling of ‘niche space’‚ communities would be ecologically saturated with species. This led to the conclusion that historical/biogeographic process like speciation and extinction rates could be dis-included when explaining local diversity. This resulted in local ecological processes being a default belief for terrestrial community ecologists. In contrast to this ‘Niche theory’‚ where diversity is limited

surroundings.(See figure 2) When this happened‚ natural selection kicked in and provided stronger animals to live in the environment. The brown bears that survived breaded and evolved into the polar bear. With this divergent evolution‚ the bears had caused speciation.(Pbs.org‚2008) Adaptation also occurred to the bears after they had evolved. Some of the adaptation were related to its teeth‚ fur‚ and etc. When the brown bear evolved into Polar bears‚ they slowly received the dominance of white fur instead

differences between divergent evolution‚ convergent evolution and parallel evolution and provide an example for each type of evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when change from a common ancestral species increases as time passes‚ leading to a speciation event; that is‚ the evolution of two new species. Convergent evolution on the other hand differs from divergent evolution because it is the development of similar features separately in unrelated groups of organisms though natural selection. Finally

The effect of mutations on living organisms Mutations occur when there is a change in the base sequence on the DNA strand. Most mutations have absolutely no effect due to them occurring in the introns‚ or the “junk DNA”. However some mutations occur on the exons‚ and these are the ones that can be potentially harmful to the organism‚ although in some exceptional cases random mutations can be beneficial‚ and pressured mutations are almost always beneficial to the survival of a species. Harmful

exist for each species of cricket based on these three characteristics and others like rate duration‚ pausing and cycling and this allows the female crickets to differentiate between their own species and others (Hennig‚ Blankers‚ & Gray‚ 2016). Speciation is process in which organisms become reproductively isolated and thus form different species. Differences in sexual selection are one of the factors that contribute to this isolation and thus differences in male phenotype related to sexual selection

(To do this‚ you will have to learn or review the difference between sympatric populations and allopatric populations. You will find this information in Chapter 24.) 8.
