    Charles Darwin formulated the theory of evolution by natural selection in his 1859 book "On the Origin of Species". It refers to the change over time by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms. The mechanisms of evolutionary changes include genetic drift, migration or gene flow, mutation, natural selection and nonrandom mating. Lamarckian evolution involves organisms changing during their lifetime and passing these changes to offspring, while Darwinian evolution involves natural selection and organisms better adapted to the environment surviving and reproducing more.

    Mechanisms of
    Evolutionary Changes

    Evolution is a change in the heritable


    characteristics of biological populations over
    successive generations.
    Mechanisms of evolutionary changes
    include genetic drift, migration or gene
    flow, mutation, natural selection and
    nonrandom mating.
    Migration/Genetic Drift
    Genetic drift is a change in the gene pool of a
    population due to chance. Examples of genetic
    drift are bottleneck effect and founder effect.
    Bottleneck effect takes place when population
    decreases due to various environmental factors
    such as fires, earthquakes and floods. The
    founder effect happens when a small population of
    organisms separates from the larger group invade
    a new area.
    Gene Flow is described
    as the movement of
    genes from one
    population to another.
    Gene Flow When this happens,
    there is tendency to
    increase the gene
    diversity in the
    populations.
    Mutation occurs when
    there is a change in
    the genetic makeup

    Mutation
    caused by
    environmental
    stressors. This process
    expands diversity of
    organisms.
    Natural Selection
    explains the
    Natural difference in
    survival of individual
    Selection and reproduce in a
    particular
    environment.
    Nonrandom mating
    increases the
    frequency of animal
    with desirable
    Nonrandom traits. It causes
    Mating evolution because it
    intrudes the natural
    pool of gene
    variations.
    Lanmarckian vs. Darwinian
    Evolution
    According to Lamarck's theory of Evolution,
    organisms change during their lifetime to
    survive then pass these changes to their
    offspring. While Darwin's theory involves
    natural selection and struggle for existence.
    When an organisms is fit and can adapt to
    its environment, it survives and more chance
    to reproduce.
