The term itself refers to the gradual shift of something over time.
More specifically, in Biology it refers to the gradual shift in traits in a population as caused by natural selection. Traits which are harmful or cause an organism to have a decreased chance to survive are 'selected against' in that they are less likely to pass on those traits. Likewise, traits which are beneficial cause there to be an increased chance the organism will survive to pass on it's traits.
The best definition of evolution would be the general definition of "A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form". Mathematics and Biology also offer up their own definitions of evolution.
Evolution is the change in inherited characteristics in a population over successive generations.
The most widely accepted theory is evolution through natural selection. Natural selection is a gradual, non-random process causing changes in the frequency of certain biological traits in a population as a result of the reproductive success of those possessing these traits. This is commonly referred to as "survival of the fittest".
Evolution can be defined as a genetic change in a line of descent over time.
Survival of the fittest
The evolving of a species to fit into it's habitat.
Formal definition. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
Informally, it is just change over time.
Simply put, evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Simpler, change over time.
The term that is often incorrectly used to describe evolution by natural selection is "survival of the fittest."
evolution and the big bang are two separate theories trying to explain the two facts of evolution and the big bang and the modern scientific way to explain life and how we got here these two theories were combined together so the answer is absolutely yes .
Evolution
Photosynthesis is not a spiritual term, it is a biological term.
The theory of evolution does not explain how the world was created or how life was created. It explains how living things have changed over the years, but not how they first came to be.
Explain what is meant by the term 'dementia.'
A species (like man) slowly changes over time as it adapts. Some theorize we evolved from primates. That is evolution.
explain what is meant by the term 'highly geared' in financial management
explain in brief the evolution of the computer
The term 'modern theory of evolution' most likely refers to the 'modern synthesis', which combines Darwin's classical model with modern genetics.
Something especially foodstuff that is subject to decay or spoilage.
The term 'modern theory of evolution' most likely refers to the 'modern synthesis', which combines Darwin's classical model with modern genetics.
Contiental Drift refers to the movements of the continents across the globe.
No, there are no other theories but the theory of evolution by natural selection that explain so much about evolution.
Evolution does not need to be explained. It is the result of things that worked at the time. By worked it is meant things that allowed the ancestors of existing beings to survive and breed and have offspring to carry on genetic traits. A common thought is that evolution has a purpose that must be explained - survival is its purpose.
Evolution is a process, theories of evolution are theories which explain that process
