Adaptation
Adaptation is a heritable trait that increases an organism’s chances of survival and reproduction in a particular environment.
Evolution
Evolution is the cumulative change in the heritable characteristics of a population over generations.
Mutation
A mutation is a random change in DNA that introduces new genetic variants (alleles).
Natural selection
Natural selection is the primary mechanism behind evolutionary change, shaping species over time and leading to the incredible biodiversity we see on Earth today.
Reproductive isolation
Reproductive isolation is the prevention of gene flow between populations due to physical, ecological, or behavioral barriers.
Speciation
Speciation is the process by which new species evolve from an existing population due to isolation and adaptation.
Variation
Variation refers to the differences in traits among individuals of a population, resulting from genetic and environmental factors.
