lajienkehitykseen
Lajienkehitykseen, or the evolution of species, is a fundamental concept in biology that describes the gradual change in the inherited characteristics of a population over successive generations. This process is driven by the mechanisms of natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation. Natural selection favors traits that enhance an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment, leading to the adaptation of species to their habitats over time.
The theory of evolution by natural selection was first proposed by Charles Darwin in his seminal work
Genetic drift, on the other hand, refers to random changes in the frequency of alleles within a
Gene flow, or the movement of genes between populations, can also influence the genetic makeup of a
Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of an organism. While most mutations are neutral or harmful,
The study of lajienkehitykseen provides valuable insights into the diversity of life on Earth and the mechanisms
