Molecular evolution is the process of change in the sequence composition of cellular molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins across generations.

These included the muscles of the ear, wisdom teeth, the appendix, the tail bone, body hair, and the semi lunar fold in the corner of the eye.

# data[].attributes.body
variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce.

A homologous structures is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, underlining anatomical commonalities demonstrating descent from a common ancestor.

# data[].attributes.body
natural selection arising through preference by one sex for certain characteristics in individuals of the other sex.

# data[].attributes.body
gene flow is when generations pass on alleles to help future generations survive. migration is when they move to go mate with other elephants

# data[].attributes.body
some believe that elephants began as small mammals and the size increased over time.

the closest relative to the elephant is the hyraxes they are also called dassies they are small thick and furry

Variation= mutation
Inheritance= dna & sexual selection.
Selection= selection and genetic drift.
Time= Migration/ gene flow.
