the theory of evolution is one of the most groundbreaking developments in scientific research. the issue has gained controversy in some communities, most specifically those who belive in creationism. Although evolution does not rule out creation it does suggest a far more complex answer to the origins of life.

Over time as organisms reproduce, they carry out reproduction, be it asexual reproduction, pollination or fertilisation, at early stages in this process through meiosis a strand of DNA might have an imperfection. This imprefection can be either good, bad or neutral. A good imprefection should in theory make that organism reproduce more, as it is classed as superior.

However cellular change isn't everything. Environmental factors can influence physical attributes, i.e bipedalism or standing on two legs, or even sharp teeth for cutting flesh. Similar to cellular change, physical change can be a good, bad or neutral thing and assumes that a good change will make the organism more likely to reproduce and therefore the organism is more advanced.

Thus evolution.

hope this helped. please rfine if you are a bit more clued in than i am.

What makes evolution a therory?

Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. That is what make a theory, explanation. Facts are useful, but uninteresting. Theories explain facts by gathering many convergent pieces of evidence and putting it into a logical and consistent whole.


What part of speech is evolution?

Evolution is a noun.


What is the difference between evolution and theories of evolution?

Evolution is the process by which species change over time through natural selection. Theories of evolution, such as Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, are explanations for how evolution occurs and the mechanisms driving it. In essence, evolution is the phenomenon, while theories of evolution are the explanations for how it happens.


How is evolution and convergent evolution alike?

Evolution and convergent evolution both involve changes in organisms over time. However, convergent evolution specifically refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental challenges.


What is the difference between theory of evolution and biological evolution?

The theory of evolution is the overarching scientific framework that explains how biological evolution occurs. Biological evolution refers specifically to the change in inherited characteristics of populations over generations. Biological evolution is the observed process that supports the theory of evolution.
