microevolution
-
Darwin's theory of natural Selection (5 things)
- A. overpopulation
- B. Variation
- C. Competition
- D. Survival of the fittest
- E. Reproduction
-
Overpopulation
organisms produce more offspring than needed to survive
-
Variation
offspring are not identical.... each has slightly different traits
-
Competition
offspring compete for food, territory, mates, ect.
-
Survival of the fittest
"best" traits tend to live; "worst" tend to die
-
Reproduction
surviving offspring of survivors pass on their traits
-

- a. big changes don't happen
- b. In-between steps must make individual more "fit" to survive
- c. Difficult changes need to happen stimultaneously
- d. Difficult to explain evolution of complex structure
- e. Mutral evolution.. two different species rely on eachother for survival
