What is the definition of biological evolution and what does it have to do with populations?

Biology
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago

Answer:

Definition:

Biological evolution is the process through which the characteristics of organisms change over successive generations, by means of genetic variation and natural selection. It is most commonly defined as "changes in gene frequencies in populations."

A small change in genes could result in a mass epidemic. Such as the colinistists bringing yellow fever over to America.

Explanation:

Biological evolution refers to the cumulative changes that occur in a population over time. These changes are produced at the genetic level as organisms' genes mutate and/or recombine in different ways during reproduction and are passed on to future generations.

A cellular organelle is a structure in the cell that performs a specific function.

Nucleus - stores cell's DNA; DNA replication occurs here

Ribosome - produce protein; "factories" of the cell

Mitochondria - breaks down food for energy to be used by the cell; "powerhouse" of the cell

Vacuole - store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals, and waste products

Endoplasmic reticulum - carry materials throughout the cell; "transport system"

Centimeter = 1/100 of a Meter
Kilometer = 1000 Meters

86,000/100 = 860 Meters
860/1000 = 0.86 Kilometers

What evidence can be examined when determining common ancestry amongst hominids?
mars1129 [50]

We examined the biogeographic patterns implied by early hominid phylogenies and compared them to the known dispersal patterns of Plio-Pleistocene African mammals. All recent published phylogenies require between four and seven hominid dispersal events between southern Africa, eastern Africa, and the Malawi Rift, a greater number of dispersals than has previously been supposed. Most hominid species dispersed at the same time and in the same direction as other African mammals. However, depending on the ages of critical hominid specimens, many phylogenies identify at least one hominid species that dispersed in the direction opposite that of contemporaneous mammals. This suggests that those hominids may have possessed adaptations that allowed them to depart from continental patterns of mammalian dispersal.
