Which is not part of darwins theory of natuarl selsction?

Random processes are not part of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Excepting random genetic mutation that provides the variation natural selection works on.


What does random mean and how does it apply to genetic?

Random: characterizing a process of selection in which each item of a set has an equal probability of being chosen. In genetics it can really be anything or random because all have an equal chance but not the dominant gene. That gene has slightly more.


How does nonrandom mating affect evolution?

Non-random mating is otherwise known as sexual selection. Some see this as distinct from natural selection, but I think that sexual selection is merely a form of, or perhaps more a complication of natural selection. Selection, natural or sexual, is the effect that "guides" evolution, that allows evolution to produce populations suited to their environment.


What are 3 basic components to today's theory of evolution?

# Random variations, a small proportion of which may be beneficial # Natural selection # Change


What causes changes in allele frequency during genetic drift?

Genetic drift is the spread of specific random variations throughout the gene pool in the absence of specific selection pressures. There's always random variation in the population, but there aren't always changes in the environment for the population to adapt to. So natural selection, in stead of moving the population towards adaptation, might select from that random variation to move 'sideways', as it were, to a state that's equally well-adapted to the environment as what came before, but different. As random variation may produce many variants that are, more or less, equally well-adapted to their environment, the direction of evolution that results is more or less random.

Why is natural selection random?

No. Natural selection is the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators. The random variation part could be thought of as mutation and recombination that the non-randompart, natural selection, works with.
