It wasn't that the favourable traits were passed down through generations of species, it's that natural selection removed the species who simply couldn't survive. Here's an example: There are two species of moth in a forest, one is brown and the other is black. The trees in the area have trunks that are brown like the moth's wings, so it can camouflage very well compared to the black moths. Eventually, more black moths were being eaten by various amphibians and bugs than brown moths. So, the favourable trait of brown wings continued to be passed on, whereas the black wings went extinct as they were all eaten. Hope that helped :D

This is the study of how organisms are distributed across the planet in both space

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Biogeography.

Explanation:

In biology, some specific sections don't deal with various topics; they deal with any specific one. Biogeography is like these branches. It deals specifically with the appearance of a species in any geographic area. Without this, it also includes the ecosystems in that geographic space within a noticeable geological time.

There are lots of species on the earth, but they don't live in the same place. They are distributed over the whole planet. Some species are found in soil, some are found in water. Along with this, some species are found in the polar region.

Biogeography mainly deals with this distribution of the species and ecosystem of any specific geographic area. This helps to understand the relationship between a species and the ecosystem of that place where it lives.
