22. What is strata?
22.	What is strata?
Strata title. Strata title is a form of ownership devised for multi-level apartment blocks and horizontal subdivisions with shared areas. The 'strata' part of the term refers to apartments being on different levels, or "strata".
21. What is coevolution?
21.	What is coevolution?
Coevolution is the evolution of two or more species which reciprocally affect each other, sometimes creating a mutualistic relationship between the species.
20. What is divergent evolution?
20.	What is divergent evolution?
The opposite of convergent evolution is divergent evolution, whereby related species evolve different traits. On a molecular level, this can happen due to random mutation unrelated to adaptive changes
19. What is convergent evolution?
19.	What is convergent evolution?
Convergent evolution. Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages. Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups.
18. What is adaptive radiation?
18.	What is adaptive radiation?
Adaptive radiation is rapid evolutionary radiation. It is an increase in the number and diversity of species in each lineage. It produces more new species, and those species live in a wider range of habitats.

16.	What is embryology?
Embryology (from Greek ἔμβρυον, embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes (sex cells), fertilization, and development of embryos and fetuses

15.	What is selective breeding? How is it used in our world today?
This process of selecting parents is called artificial selection or selective breeding, and poses no threat to nature from man manipulating the the course of nature.

Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Chevalier de Lamarck (1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829), often known simply as Lamarck (/ l ə ˈ m ɑːr k /; French: ), was a French naturalist. He was a soldier, biologist, academic, and an early proponent of the idea that biological evolution occurred and proceeded in accordance with natural laws.

10.	What is the connection between Darwin and the Galapagos Islands?

    Darwin noticed the mockingbirds differed between islands, though he thought the birds now known as Darwin's finches were unrelated to each other, and did not bother labelling them by island. Nicholas Lawson, acting Governor of Galápagos for the Republic of the Equator

    The Galapagos Archipelago is located at a distance of 972 Km (600 miles) West of mainland Ecuador. Local time is GMT - 6. It consists of 13 main islands, 6 smaller islands, 42 islets and many rocks, covering a total surface of 7,850 km².

    something produced by adapting: an adaptation of a play for television. 4. Biology. any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment

5.	Who is Charles Darwin? 

    Naturalist Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. In 1831, he embarked on a five-year survey voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle. His studies of specimens around the globe led him to formulate his theory of evolution and his views on the process of natural selection.

    Darwin gets credit but Mendel gets a lot of credit for discovering the mechanism of heredity behind evolution, which explained a lot more than Darwin ever did


3. Write the definition of Evolution?
3.	Write the definition of Evolution?

    The definition. Biological evolution, simply put, is descent with modification. This definition encompasses small-scale evolution (changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next) and large-scale evolution (the descent of different species from a common ancestor over many generations).

    A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation

    Biodiversity, a portmanteau of "biological diversity," generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic, the species, and the ecosystem level.
