The process that Darwin described as "descent with modification" is the process of evolution.

"Descent with modification" is one of the fundamental ideas behind Darwin's theory of evolution. According to Darwin, the characteristics of an organism are inherited. Offspring with inherited characteristics which allows them to compete best with the limited resources in the environment will survive. Organisms will pass the traits providing an advantage to survive and reproduce to the next generations. Over time and generations, the traits providing reproductive advantage will become common among the polpulation. This will lead to change in populations over generations in a process called the "descent with modification".

Answer:

By 1795, the warrior chief, Kamehameha the Great, had conquered most of the Hawaiian islands and established a monarchy. In the 1820s, American whalers, traders, and Christian missionaries began to visit and settle in the kingdom of Hawaii.

Although a small minority, the Americans in Hawaii soon owned much of the land, which they began to turn into large sugar-cane plantations. The native Hawaiian population dropped sharply due to smallpox and other diseases that came with the American immigrants. Needing more workers, the sugar planters imported Chinese and Japanese contract laborers who agreed to work on the plantations for a set period of time.

As their influence increased, the Americans became deeply involved with the government of the Hawaiian kings. In 1840, American advisors helped King Kamehameha III produce Hawaii's first written constitution.

By 1842, the United States had developed regular diplomatic relations with Hawaii and supported its status as an independent country. After King David Kalakaua ascended the throne in 1874, Hawaii and the United States signed a trade agreement lifting some restrictions on exporting Hawaiian sugar to the United States. In addition, this agreement permitted the United States to lease a naval station at Pearl Harbor.

anzhelika [568]

Living things has emerged into three domains called Archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Evident that support the idea that multi cellular that is eukaryotic cell evolved from the prokaryotic cell are the descendents of the separate prokaryotic cells that together form a union which are inter dependent.

For example: The mitochondria which is referred to the energy source of the cell is considered as the great-great-great-granddaughter of a bacterium cell which is free living. This free living bacterium bacterial cell was consumed by an other cell and this remained as the stable guest in the cell. This mitochondria provided chemical energy to the cell and also protected the nutrient rich environment.  which surrounds it. This process of one organism residing in the other organism completely is called endosymbiosis.
