Survival of the Fittest
It is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction.

Survival of the Fittest
It is the process whereby organisms that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce while those less adapted fail to do so.

Fitness
Survival of the Fittest
A key factor in the struggles for existence, was how well suited an organism is to its environment.

Survival of the Fittest
Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment fitness.
Evolution

Darwin purposed that fitness is the result of adaptations.

Charles Darwin published: On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection on 1895.
True
False
Mechanism of Evolution is anything that doesn't changes the frequency of alleles in a population is a mechanism of evolution.
True
False
It is a biological theory that explains why organisms seem to match their environmental niches so well.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Individuals that have certain heritable characteristics survive and reproduce at a higher rate than other individuals.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
It brings about adaptation and evolution.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Natural Selection is not evolution. It is a driving force for evolution to happen.
True
False
It should be capable of substantial modification of species over many hundreds of generations. Even if the advantages of some heritable traits over others are slight, the advantageous variations will gradually accumulate in the population, and less favorable variations will diminish.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
It favors intermediate variants.
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
The intermediate states become more common and each extreme variation will become less common or lost.
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
Genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait. and favors intermediate variants.
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
Example: Human Birth Weight
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
It favors individuals at both extremes of a characteristic range.
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
Example: Population of White, Black, and Gray Rabbits, placed on an environment with black rocks and white rocks. Both white rabbits and black rabbits can hide from predators, while gray rabbits will be eaten.
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
It occurs when a certain allele has greater fitness than others, resulting in an increase in the frequency of that allele until it is fixed in the population gene pool.
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
Example: Human Height
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
It is a special kind of selection that acts on traits that help animals increase their chances of mating.
Stabilizing Selection
Disruptive Selection
Directional Selection
Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
Example: The male peacock has an elaborate train (tail) to attract the peahen to mate.

This states that there are many different phenotypes found in a population, each group represents a morph.

Sexual Selection
Polymorphism
Modification of a species through human actions that encourage the breeding of certain traits over others.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
“It works the same way as natural selection, except that with natural selection it is nature, not human interference, that makes these decisions.” - National Geographic
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
It occurs whenever a human exerts selective pressure on a population in order to improve or modify particular desirable traits.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
The genotype is altered to produce a new strain of the organism for a specific purpose.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Human preferences or influences have a significant effect on the evolution of a particular population or species.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Selective breeding, an example of this, in which particular individuals are selected for breeding because they possess desired characteristics or excluded from breeding because their traits are undesirable.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Individuals with beneficial traits are more likely to be 'selected' that is, to have more offspring than individuals with other, less beneficial traits.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
When those traits have a heritable component they tend to become more common in the next generation.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Alleles with an average result in greater fitness become more abundant in the next generation, while alleles with generally reduced fitness become rarer.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
If the selection forces remain the same for many generations. beneficial alleles become more and more abundant, while alleles with lesser fitness disappear.
