Question

summarise the modern synthetic theory of evolution. how is continuity of life maintained?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Modern Synthetic theory of evolution emphasises that several species arose because of the gradual accumulation of small mutations. Synthetic Theory of evolution incorporates the random variations or mutations of the genetic information and accepts this mechanism as part of the evolution that, together with the mechanism of the natural selection, produce evolution as a whole. In a nutshell it emphasises on genetic interactions, genetic variations and natural selection. Continuity of life is maintained through reproduction.
