91
Q
  • Theory presented in 1801
  • The organism develops a structure to ensure suvival

  • survival of the fittest
  • natural selection
93
Q
  • Theory presented in 1901
  • mutations provide variety
  • Adaptive mutations are inherited by organisms
94
Q
  • Theory passed in 1908
  • Evolution acts on a population
  • small populations are easy to change
  • new genes are introduced through migration
  • unstable gene frequencies promote evolution
