The latter being extremely rare. These changed can be of great harm to the subjected organism, however they may also be completely insignificant. These point mutations can cause great phenotypical changes in the individual, however usually express themselves in the affected parent's offspring. ]]> 2020-01-14 08:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/431175457 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/433882073 It is the process of DNA being passed on from a parent individual to an offspring. If a parent is able to reproduce it was usually successful and will contain strong, useful genetic code which it is able to pass on to its offspring. The offspring is able to use this genetic code as an advantage to help it follow the footsteps of its parent to become a successful survivor. ]]> 2020-01-21 08:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/433882073 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/433882238 2020-01-21 08:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/433882238 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/433882915 Opposed to different theories of the creation of this planet and explanation to why our biological status is the way it is today -like Creationism-,  the Modern Synthetic Theory of Evolution is a proven theory which encompasses Gene Mutations, Variation/Recombination, Heredity, Natural Selection, Isolation and Speciation to illustrate a bundle of evidence which  proves our modern perception of the past and how it led to what we are today. ]]> 2020-01-21 08:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/433882915 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436184313 Different types of Point Mutations. ]]> 2020-01-26 21:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436184313 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436184910 As explained, mutations tend to express themselves in the offspring of subjected individuals, therefore the offspring will have a phenotypic alteration which may even cause more success for that individual, therefore it will succeed over those who do not have this mutation and will pass on it's mutation for its offspring to further be successful.

Primarily, Mutations cause Variation as well. The primary causes of genetic variation are, however during sexual reproduction where the two parent organisms combine their genetic information into a daughter organism. This causes a great amount of variation. Another common cause of variation is the process of crossing over in which, during mitoses, the aligning chromosomes will cross over chromosomal information to cause further differential production of gametes, concluding in modern variation. ]]> 2020-01-26 21:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436189309 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436190559 Heredity is important because of the advantageous information which was passed on from the parent to the offspring. The offspring is different form the parent, however still owns its successful characteristics. This connects to evolution because the offspring will always be the ones which own the successful genetic code; may it be mutated or adapted to its environment, and will therefore- through its existence- help evolve the species to a different, however more successful one. ]]> 2020-01-26 21:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436190559 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436191362 The parental plants pass on there genetic information, concluding in a redesign of the species in the second generation as all plants are tall.

Therefore these are also favoured in reproduction. This mentioned process of adaptation is initiated through the existence of a mutation, for example, and then favours the mutation if it is helpful for the organisms survival in its environment. It is a constant process which individuals cannot control. It therefore constantly alters the species gene pool. ]]> 2020-01-26 22:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436195083 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436195874 Natural Selection is essential in the existence of the Modern Synthetic theory of evolution as it highlights the alteration of a species through the favouring of specific organisms with advantageous genetic information and the subjected organisms natural successful reproductive "career" in which it evolves the species in that specific environment.

Individuals subjected to isolation will develop according to the environment they reside in. If a species is segregated due to a geographic barrier it will develop according to its surroundings. This may go to the extend of interbreeding between the primary species and the now newly developed species to not working as the genetic code has already been so differentiated. ]]> 2020-01-26 22:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436197884 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436200784 Isolation will cause the separated species to change and adapt to the new environment.

All the factors mentioned cause speciation and scientist use speciation today in the form of taxonomy to classify and trace species with the denominator of time. Through migration species isolate in different environments, thus creating new species. This is a classic example of speciation and is, in essence, what It is. The existence and proof of this concept is the ultimate proof of the modern theory of evolution. ]]> 2020-01-26 23:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436203278 linnme14 https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436204165 This shows the classification of three different flies which have evolved into three subcategories through the mentioned speciation events which are, for example, migration. ]]> 2020-01-26 23:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/linnme14/oz3gckoq07k3/wish/436204165
