How can natural selection be modelled? - Coggle Diagram

- - - - representation of facts, events, processes
        
        uses something else to represent it
        
        is easier to understand
  - - - Some processes can't be seen
- - - - Populations & species changing over time
    - - Process certain inherited traits makes it
        
        Easier for some indiviuals to
        
        survive & reproduce then others
    - - Process of organisms changing over time
        
        Due to changes in heritable either
        
        physical traits
        
        behavioural traits
  - - - proccess of population change
        
        Provide scientific accurate information
      - Explains theory of evolution #
- - - - Each species has own traits
        
        Makes them different from other species
        
        Each indiviual within species has unique traits
        
        Makes everybody different
        
        Traits can be:
        
        Benefitical
        
        Neutral
        
        Negative
    - - Environment can't support
        
        unlimited population growth
        
        selection pressure solves this issue
        
        Kills off individuals with unsuitable phenotypes
        
        Have lower rate of survival
        
        and reproduction #
        
        Leaves individuals with favourable phenotypes
        
        They remain in population
        
        Have higher rate of survival

    - - Traits are passed from parent to offspring
        
        Unless DNA mutation occurs which
        
        could cancel trait
        
        alter it
        
        Mostly benefitical traits go to next generation
        
        Because most of population formed
        
        Of organisms with benefitical phenotypes #
        
        mostly, ones with unsuitable phenotypes are: # #
    - - step two - three cause
        
        advantageous trait
        
        -trait help certain individuals survive and reproduce
        
        Becomes more population then disadvantage trait
        
        continuation of process means:
        
        all organisms with unsuitable phenotype
