Question

Name the process/term for the following statements.

Evolution is related to living organisms.

Answer 1

Darwin's theory of evolution

The concept of organic evolution was first proposed by Charles Darwin in his book called ‘The origin of species’ which focused on ‘descent with modification’ as the major cause of evolution.

Natural selection:

1. The theory of natural selection formed the basis of Darwin's theory of evolution.
2. The organisms which had genes that made them best suited for the environment, survived and reproduced more to pass on those genes to the future generations.
3. The concept of survival of the fittest was the basis of natural selection.

Thus, evolution related to living organisms is called natural selection.
