The Evolution of Life in the Context of Ecology

The video explores the origin of life and its evolution, connecting it to ecology. It discusses mechanisms of evolution such as natural selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Examples like pesticide resistance and bacteria evolving to eat nylon illustrate these concepts. The video also covers adaptations in organisms, including mimicry and echolocation, highlighting their role in survival and ecological interactions.

Describe gene flow and its significance in evolution.

What is genetic drift and how does it influence populations?

How do adaptations help organisms survive in their environments?
