What would most likely occur over time if new technologies gave us information that challenged what scientists currently understand about natural selection?

The theory (of evolution) would be modified to fit the new facts. (As has already been done.)


How is gene theory related to theory of evolution?

Genes are the hereditary molecules that natural selection actually selects, So, the change in allele ( different molecular form of the same gene ) frequency over time in a population of organisms is the definition of evolution.


Is Darwin's theory proven?

A. It is no longer Darwin's theory as the theory of evolution by natural selection has been modified and added to since Darwin's day. Still, Darwin would recognize the theory as it stands today. B. Science does not " prove " things as that is a mathematical concept. Science supports it's theories with overwhelming amounts of converging evidence. That said, the theory of evolution by natural selection has been upheld scientifically for over 150 years and had withstood many tests and challenges. The theory of evolution by natural selection ios the bedrock upon which modern biology is built.


Why is evolution considerd a theory?

Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of this fact. That is what a theory is. A consistent explanation of a phenomenon, or a series of phenomenon, that is supported by massive amounts of evidence, containing both facts and laws and is able to make predictions that generate testable hypothesis. A theory, in the scientific sense, is not a guess.


What are the doctrines of evolution?

There are no ' doctrines ' of evolution. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains, to a great degree, this fact. The theory is supported by mountains of evidence, from fossils to molecular genetics. Science does not have doctrines.

It is no longer Darwin's theory as the theory has been modified and strengthened by much work over 150 years. Even in Darwin's time the answer would have been no. The theory of evolution by natural selection is as correct as our science can make it. There are no theories or even ideas in opposition to selective theory.
