What is Free Evolution?

Free evolution is the concept that the natural processes that organisms go through can lead them to evolve over time. This includes the appearance and development of new species.

This is evident in many examples such as the stickleback fish species that can be found in salt or fresh water, and walking stick insect species that are apprehensive about particular host plants. These typically reversible traits cannot explain fundamental changes to basic body plans.

Evolution by Natural Selection

Scientists have been fascinated by the evolution of all living organisms that inhabit our planet for many centuries. The most well-known explanation is Charles Darwin's natural selection, an evolutionary process that occurs when individuals that are better adapted survive and reproduce more effectively than those who are less well-adapted. As time passes, a group of well-adapted individuals increases and eventually creates a new species.

Natural selection is a cyclical process that is characterized by the interaction of three factors: variation, inheritance and reproduction. Variation is caused by mutation and 에볼루션 바카라사이트 sexual reproduction, both of which increase the genetic diversity within the species. Inheritance is the term used to describe the transmission of genetic traits, 에볼루션 무료체험 including recessive and dominant genes, to their offspring. Reproduction is the process of creating fertile, viable offspring. This can be done by both asexual or sexual methods.

Natural selection is only possible when all these elements are in balance. If, for example the dominant gene allele allows an organism to reproduce and live longer than the recessive gene then the dominant allele will become more prevalent in a group. However, if the allele confers a disadvantage in survival or decreases fertility, it will disappear from the population. This process is self-reinforcing meaning that an organism that has an adaptive trait will live and reproduce much more than those with a maladaptive feature. The higher the level of fitness an organism has, measured by its ability reproduce and survive, is the greater number of offspring it will produce. Individuals with favorable traits, 바카라 에볼루션 바카라 체험 (www.crazys.cc) like the long neck of the giraffe, or bright white patterns on male peacocks are more likely than others to live and 에볼루션 무료체험 reproduce which eventually leads to them becoming the majority.

Natural selection is an aspect of populations and not on individuals. This is a major distinction from the Lamarckian theory of evolution that states that animals acquire traits either through use or lack of use. For instance, if the animal's neck is lengthened by reaching out to catch prey, 에볼루션카지노사이트 its offspring will inherit a longer neck. The difference in neck size between generations will continue to grow until the giraffe is no longer able to reproduce with other giraffes.

Evolution by Genetic Drift

In genetic drift, alleles at a gene may be at different frequencies in a population through random events. In the end, only one will be fixed (become common enough that it can no longer be eliminated by natural selection) and the other alleles will diminish in frequency. In extreme cases it can lead to a single allele dominance. Other alleles have been virtually eliminated and heterozygosity been reduced to a minimum. In a small number of people this could result in the total elimination of the recessive allele. This is known as the bottleneck effect and is typical of the evolutionary process that occurs whenever an enormous number of individuals move to form a group.

A phenotypic bottleneck can also occur when survivors of a catastrophe like an epidemic or mass hunting event, are concentrated in a limited area. The survivors will share a dominant allele and thus will share the same phenotype. This may be caused by a war, earthquake, or even a plague. Regardless of the cause, the genetically distinct population that is left might be susceptible to genetic drift.

Walsh Lewens, Lewens, and Ariew employ a "purely outcome-oriented" definition of drift as any deviation from the expected values for differences in fitness. They provide a well-known example of twins that are genetically identical, have the exact same phenotype but one is struck by lightning and dies, 에볼루션 무료체험 whereas the other lives and reproduces.

This type of drift can play a crucial part in the evolution of an organism. This isn't the only method of evolution. Natural selection is the primary alternative, in which mutations and migration maintain the phenotypic diversity of the population.

Stephens asserts that there is a major difference between treating drift as a force, or a cause and treating other causes of evolution, such as selection, mutation and migration as causes or causes. Stephens claims that a causal process model of drift allows us to distinguish it from other forces, and this distinction is crucial. He also argues that drift has both direction, i.e., it tends towards eliminating heterozygosity. It also has a size which is determined based on population size.

Evolution by Lamarckism

When high school students study biology they are often introduced to the work of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744 - 1829). His theory of evolution, commonly referred to as "Lamarckism which means that simple organisms transform into more complex organisms by taking on traits that are a product of an organism's use and disuse. Lamarckism is typically illustrated by a picture of a giraffe extending its neck longer to reach higher up in the trees. This could result in giraffes passing on their longer necks to their offspring, who would then get taller.

Lamarck was a French zoologist and, in his lecture to begin his course on invertebrate Zoology at the Museum of Natural History in Paris on 17 May 1802, he presented a groundbreaking concept that radically challenged the conventional wisdom about organic transformation. According Lamarck, living organisms evolved from inanimate material through a series gradual steps. Lamarck wasn't the first to propose this, but he was widely considered to be the first to offer the subject a comprehensive and general explanation.

The popular narrative is that Lamarckism grew into a rival to Charles Darwin's theory of evolutionary natural selection and that the two theories battled out in the 19th century. Darwinism eventually prevailed and led to the development of what biologists refer to as the Modern Synthesis. The theory argues that acquired traits can be passed down through generations and instead argues organisms evolve by the influence of environment factors, including Natural Selection.

Lamarck and his contemporaries supported the idea that acquired characters could be passed on to future generations. However, this notion was never a key element of any of their theories about evolution. This is due in part to the fact that it was never tested scientifically.

It's been over 200 year since Lamarck's birth and in the field of genomics, there is an increasing evidence-based body of evidence to support the heritability of acquired traits. This is referred to as "neo Lamarckism", or more often epigenetic inheritance. This is a variant that is just as valid as the popular neodarwinian model.

Evolution through adaptation

One of the most commonly-held misconceptions about evolution is being driven by a struggle to survive. In fact, this view is inaccurate and overlooks the other forces that determine the rate of evolution. The struggle for existence is more accurately described as a struggle to survive in a specific environment. This may include not only other organisms, but also the physical surroundings themselves.

To understand how evolution operates it is beneficial to think about what adaptation is. Adaptation refers to any particular feature that allows an organism to live and reproduce within its environment. It could be a physical feature, like feathers or fur. Or it can be a characteristic of behavior, like moving to the shade during hot weather, or escaping the cold at night.

The survival of an organism is dependent on its ability to extract energy from the environment and interact with other organisms and their physical environments. The organism must possess the right genes to produce offspring, and it should be able to find sufficient food and other resources. The organism must also be able reproduce itself at a rate that is optimal for its particular niche.

These factors, together with mutation and gene flow result in changes in the ratio of alleles (different types of a gene) in the population's gene pool. This shift in the frequency of alleles could lead to the development of new traits and eventually new species in the course of time.

Many of the features we find appealing in plants and animals are adaptations. For instance lung or gills that draw oxygen from air feathers and fur for insulation, long legs to run away from predators, and camouflage to hide. To understand adaptation it is crucial to discern between physiological and behavioral traits.

Physical characteristics like large gills and thick fur are physical traits. Behavioral adaptations are not, such as the tendency of animals to seek companionship or move into the shade in hot temperatures. It is also important to keep in mind that lack of planning does not result in an adaptation. Failure to consider the consequences of a decision even if it seems to be rational, may make it unadaptive.
