Darwin's Theory of Evolution demonstrates how species adapt and change... Show more
This section explores the fundamental mechanisms driving evolutionary change, including sexual selection, artificial selection, and natural selection. These processes work together to create adaptations that help organisms survive in their environments.
Vocabulary: Adaptation - A change that makes an organism better suited to survive and reproduce in its environment.
Example: Sexual selection occurs through male-male competition and female choice, where certain traits are selected based on mating preferences.
Highlight: Natural selection requires existing variation in a population and environmental pressures to drive evolutionary change.
Natural selection can affect population phenotypes in three main patterns: directional selection, stabilizing selection, and disruptive selection. Each pattern leads to different distributions of traits within populations.
Definition: Phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
Example: Directional selection shifts the entire population toward one extreme of a trait, such as longer beaks in finches during drought conditions.
This section details how natural selection shapes populations over time through different selective pressures. Understanding these patterns helps explain the diversity of life we observe today.
Highlight: Non-evolving populations typically follow a normal distribution of traits, while selective pressures can alter this distribution in predictable ways.
Example: Stabilizing selection favors intermediate traits while selecting against extreme variations, maintaining consistency in populations.
The five fundamental tenets of evolution - variation, inheritance, struggle for survival, time, and adaptation - work together to drive evolutionary change in populations.
Definition: Variation refers to the differences among individuals in a population, which arise from genetic mutations and sexual reproduction.
Highlight: Evolution only works on heritable traits that can be passed between generations through genetic inheritance.
Multiple lines of evidence support the theory of evolution, including fossils, comparative anatomy, molecular genetics, embryology, and biogeography.
Example: Fossil evidence shows transitions between ancient and modern species, demonstrating evolutionary changes over time.
Highlight: The study of comparative anatomy reveals similarities in structure between related species, supporting common ancestry.
The distribution of species across the globe provides important evidence for evolution, with the ancient supercontinent Pangea playing a crucial role in understanding current species distributions.
Definition: Biogeography is the study of the distribution of plant and animal species and ecosystems in geographic space and through geological time.
Highlight: The breakup of Pangea helps explain why similar species are found on different continents, supporting evolutionary theory.
Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution emerged from his extensive worldwide voyage collecting specimens and making detailed observations. His work particularly focused on the Galápagos finches, which demonstrated remarkable adaptations to their specific environments.
Example: The Galápagos finches developed different beak shapes based on available food sources, with some having large beaks for cracking seeds while others evolved thin beaks for catching insects.
Highlight: A significant drought in 1977 demonstrated natural selection in action, with 80% of finches dying while those with larger beaks survived, showing evolution in real-time.
Definition: Evolution refers to the change in species characteristics over time through natural selection and other mechanisms.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
