Solution
Evolution:
Evolution is a continuous and gradual process of change that occurs over time.
It occurs because of minor changes in genetic composition and environmental changes.
As a result, new species are formed.
The changes in an organism from generation to generation genotypically or phenotypically.
Paleontology gives direct evidence of the evolution of organisms.
For example, frog larvae.
They have tails that help them swim and breathe through their gills.
It is indicating that the frog may have evolved from fish-like ancestors.
