What did Mayr take from Darwin's work?

Mayr showed that Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection applies to the evolution of genes at the molecular level.

The theory of evolution by natural selection. Charles Darwin. A+


Why is evolution reffered to as a theory?

I don't exactly know why evolutionists refer to it as a theory, but I do know this. A theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning. According to the definition of a theory, evolution is not a theory. Evolution cannot be based on observation. No one was here to observe it. So evolution should be classified as a hypothesis not a theory. It is only a guess as to how things came about.


Is evolution a law or theory or a hypothesis?

Answer 1A theory. Just as E=Mc2 is the theory of relativity.Answer 2Evolution is both a fact and a theory, although the fact and the theory of evolution are - at least in my book - two different things:The fact of evolution is the observation that lifeforms evolve over time.The theory of evolution is the model that explains how they evolve, and how that applies to our findings in genetics and palaeontology. The theory of evolution incorporates a number of well-tested hypotheses, laws, and facts.


Who came up with theory of evolution?

Although we may not be able to say who first defined evolution as the means by which new species arise, we do know that early pioneers of evolution theories include Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Lamarck. Charles Darwin (1809-1892) was not the first to study evolution, but he was the first to recognise the role of natural selection in evolution. He defined the process by which evolution occurs as being natural selection, in his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

What is the neutral theory?

Introduced by Motoo Kimura, the neutral theory states that the vast majority of evolutionary changes at the molecular level are caused by random drift of selectively neutral mutants.


Why do different genes have a different molecular clock rate according to the neutral theory of molecular evolution?

Different genes have different molecular clock rates due to the amount of Cytoplasmic Dyruduemion the genes contain. The more Cytoplasmic Dyruduemion the genes have, the slower the molecular clock rate, according to the neutral theory of molecular evolution.

What created human kind?

This question has been debated for many years. There are two theories, a religious theory and an evolution theory. The religious theory states that man kind was created by god. The other theory is that man kind came about through evolution.


What is the family background of Tomoko Ohta Ph.D.?

Dr. Tomoko Ohta's family background is not widely documented, as she is a renowned geneticist known for her work in population genetics and molecular evolution. She is best known for the nearly-neutral theory of evolution, which she proposed in 1971. Dr. Ohta has had a significant impact on the field of genetics through her research and publications.
