Darwin and Natural Selection
This tutorial investigates the genetic diversity in more detail. It also delineates how certain alleles are favored over other alleles in natural selection. ..
Adaptive Radiation
The diversification of several new species from a recent ancestral source, each adapted to utilize or occupy a vacant adaptive zone is referred to as adaptive radiation. 'Darwin's Finches' exemplified adaptive radiation. For more elaborate info on adaptive radiation, read this tutorial...
Examples of Natural Selection
Darwin's Finches are an example of natural selection in action. They are an excellent example of the way species' gene pools have adapted in order for long term survival via their offspring. See this tutorial for more elaborate info on natural selection as exemplified by Darwin's finches...
Population Growth and Survivorship
This lesson looks at population attributes, regulation, and growth. It also covers population genetics, particularly genetic variations, natural selection, genetic drift, genetic migration, and speciation...
Genetics and Evolution
Humans are diploid creatures. This means that for every chromosome in the body, there is another one to match it. However, there are organisms that have more than two sets of chromosomes. The condition is called polyploidy. Know more about this topic through this tutorial...
The Gene Pool and Population Genetics
According to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, preferable genes are favored by nature in the gene pool, and over time, these preferable characteristics become more exclusive in the gene pool. This tutorial rounds up all the factors that can alter the makeup of a gene pool...
