Evolution - Changing of things over time to benefit the organism in natural selection. Biological evolution happened at the level population ‚ not the individual organism level. Lack of need‚ Climate change‚ population change Adaptations is at population level not individual level they are a result of natural selection Devolvment of diversity Because a genetics re combinations mutations and othe mechanisms that lead to variation there is what Darwin called descent with modification

Human intervention are both advantageous and disadvantageous to the biodiversity of the Felidae family. The way human intervention affects each of the following species of the family are explained below. CHEETAHS Cheetahs are endangered and even extinct in many areas today largely due to human intervention. Human beings have taken over much of the cats’ habitat and killed off the prey that the cheetahs hunt for food. People have also killed many cheetahs directly. By the early 1970’s‚ the fur trade

Evolutionary trees convey a lot of information about a group’s evolutionary history. Biologists are taking advantage of this by using a system of phylogenetic classification. In contrast to the traditional Linnaean system of classification‚ phylogenetic classification names only clades. For example‚ a strictly Linnaean system of classification might place the birds and non-Avian dinosaurs into two separate groups. However‚ the phylogeny of these organisms reveals that the bird lineage actually
