    theory and explained it through ‘natural selection’.

    scientist whose most famous studies were the evolution of man and all other creatures. Darwin realized that certain species became extinct because they were not both strong physically and mentally‚ and he explains his theory which is called natural selection‚ and later claimed the phrase “Survival of the fittest.” This phrase can be seen through war as well as the aftermath of a war.

    Calculation of Allele and Genotype Frequencies & Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Theory INTRODUCTION Population geneticists study frequencies of genotypes and alleles within populations rather than the ratios of phenotypes that Mendelian geneticists use. By comparing these frequencies with those predicted by null models that assume no evolutionary mechanisms are acting within populations‚ they draw conclusions regarding the evolutionary forces in operation. In a constant environment‚ genes will continue

    Natural Selection Natural selection is a theory created by Charles Darwin. This theory explains that organisms that are more adapted to their habitat live longer and are more likely to pass on their traits through reproduction. For example‚ a green tree frog in a green rainforest would be more adapt than a gray tree frog. A green tree frog has the potential to blend in with the green surroundings‚ but the gray tree frog would be easily spotted by a predator and eaten due to its color and inability

    Evolution is the changing of gene frequency in a population over time. Natural selection is where animals with advantageous characteristics produce more offspring‚ therefore passing down favoured genes. In the more developed parts of the world‚ medical care and access to food means natural selection is lesser‚ as selective forces that were there before e.g some diseases and predators‚ are no longer there. Therefore‚ some humans that have characteristics that would have previously meant they produce
