Evolution
Evolution is the gradual development of an organism over time. There are 7 methods of evolution: nonrandom mating, small population, mutations, genetic drift, gene flow, adaptations, and natural selection.
Genetic Drift
-
-
Founder Effect: a smaller population creates a new gene pool cause their to be a creation of a specices.
-
-
Adaptations
advantages traits that allow organisms to survive and disadavntages traits that prevent an organism's survival
-
Natural Selection
Natural Selection, theory proposed and proved by Darwin and Wallace, is a process in which organisms that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce while those who do not have these traits will not be able to survive.
Natural Selection have 4 basics processes variation, inheritance, differential survival and reproduction, and adaptation.

Adaptaion
advantages traits that allow organisms to survive and disadavntages traits that prevent an organism's surviva
There are 3 types of natural selection directional selection, stabilizing selection, and disruptive selection.

-
-
Nonrandom Mating
It is when species in a population breed selectively with each other so that their offspring gain favorable traits that allow them to survive.
Evidence of Evolution
Sometimes there are signs that are found in species that can show evidence of evolution. These are: Fossil records, anatomy and morphology, embryological, molecular traits/ biochemistry, and biogeography.

-
Biogeography
Location of species can change the traits of a species to be more advantagious to survive in the region
Fossil Records
provides glimpses into the past to show the changes that an organism has under gone and how it has evolved
