caused by the need of survival. Natural selection is the process by which biological traits of an organism become less in common in a population over time. This process can even result in a different species. Polar bears have gone under a series of evolutionary changes over time to help them survive in conditions on the planet some such adaptations include larger paws‚ thicker white fur‚ extra fat to keep them warm and more recently they have developed polar bear type teeth. These

likely occurred through natural selection‚ and from common descent. Darwin ruled out that such differences might be based on chance from random mutations‚ and concluded that much like selective breeding‚ the variation of species is due to an evolutionary process where by such plants and animals which had made these changes were more adapt at survival and procreation of the species. This has come to be known as‚ the process of Natural Selection. Decent with Modification as defined by Perry (2013)

Lamarck‚ French zoologist‚ one of the founding fathers of modern evolutionary doctrines (E. Jablonka and S. Gissis‚ 2011)‚ approached the evolution question after transferred to zoology field at his 50s and gradually found out that “creationism” was doubtful (Ralph F. Shaner).

zebra stripes According to ontological evidence‚ zebras’ background coloration is black. The white stripping appears at a later developmental phase. The development of zebra stripping can thus be viewed as an evolutionary response (Egri et al.‚ 2011). Any discussion regarding the evolutionary purpose of zebra stripes is inevitably traced back to Darwin and Wallace. While Wallace suggested that zebra stripes developed as a camouflaging mechanism against attacks from predators in tall grass‚ Darwin

Evolutionary Medicine For many years‚ evolutionary principles have helped with many different aspects of the medical field. These principles have significantly helped with providing scientists with helpful information in understanding different illness‚ and issues that arise in the medical field. More specifically‚ the cooperation of evolutionary biology with modern medicine has helped with understanding antibiotic resistance and susceptibility‚ spread of disease‚ and development of cancer.

Major Influencer For those of you who took biology last year and did not pay attention when we were learning about Charles Darwin and Natural Selection‚ here is your chance to learn how he made a big impact to his time. Charles Darwin‚ a Naturalist and an Influencer‚ revolutionized science from his theory of evolution by Natural Selection. Expanding on that idea‚ He developed his Natural Selection theory by going on a 5 year survey trip on the HMS Beagle around the world suggested by his mentor

whole spectrum of thinking in the aspect of variations in species. This allowed Darwin’s theory to be plausible. Now‚ scientists have proven for certainty that evolution is an undisputable fact by the observations in modern sciences from molecular biology‚ direct observations (biogeography)‚ fossil record‚ embryology‚ and comparative anatomy. We are surrounded by life all around us. Whether it be plants‚ bacteria or animals‚ we are all related. We look nothing alike sometimes‚ but we share a common

16.1 All of Life is connected through its Evolutionary history Phylogeny- is the history of descent of organisms from their common ancestor. Groups of evolutionarily related species are represented as related branches in a PHYLOGENETIC TREE. - A group of species that consists of a common ancestor and all its evolutionary descendants is called a CLADE. Named clades and species are called TAXA. - HOMOLOGIES are similar traits that have been inherited from a common ancestor. - A trait that is

Evolution Is Just A Theory One of the main things that would be studied in biology is evolution. Although most people think that evolution is true and us humans have evolved from our formal ancestors. For the past year mankind has been thinking of one thing‚ which was evolution. The definition of mechanism is how evolution occurs over time. Evolution has been shown over the past billion years and humans have studied the creatures that have physically changed their bodies.

After beginning to split off from brown bears; the polar bear’s ancestors began to go through series of evolutionary changes to ensure that it can survive in the Arctic. Recent studies suggest that polar bears split from brown bear ancestors 350‚000-6 million years ago. Polar bears and brown bears are genetically
