A Stress on a Biological Organism, over time and, an overall balancing this stress, that isn't normally taken care of, by regular day to day, equalizations.
For a mutation to affect evolution, it must occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (sperm or egg cells) so that it can be passed on to offspring. Mutations that occur in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) do not directly impact evolution as they are not inherited by future generations.
Evolution would not occur if there is no genetic variation within a population, no selection pressure, or if there is no reproduction and passing on of genes to the next generation.
Differential selection is just that, differential. Some variation is marginally superior to another variation us fitness difference, so the key is to have variation. Then natural selection will " see " this slight variation and select the better adapted trait against the background of the immediate environment.
variation in the traits of organisms, heredity (the ability to pass on those traits to offspring), and differential survival and reproduction based on those traits (natural selection). These elements work together to drive the process of evolution over time.
Genetic variation is necessary for evolution to occur, as it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon. This variation can arise from mutations, genetic recombination, or gene flow.
The key component of evolution is reproduction of the species.
Evolution occurs in population not in an individual.
Yes. Evolution ocurred in all geologic periods.
You do not allow evolution to occur, for you are evolution in selective breeding.
The more variation there is in a group of specimens, the more evolution can occur between them.
Down Syndrome is a the addition of an extra chromosome and not really related to evolution. It is more of a genetic mutation that causes this event to occur.
During evolution, chromosomal cariation in structure cannot occur due to

It already has in some instances
Selective Breeding of course!

Absolutely. Evolution isn't an historical process; it is on-going as long as there is life.
