Accumulation of inherited changes in populations over time, leading to related species. The pattern of evolution is an accepted fact in science. The theory that evolution by natural selection is the dominant mechanism for evolution acknowledges that other processes contribute to evolutionary change. An individual"s ability to survive and reproduce relative to other members of a population. Group of individuals of one species living in one geographic area and sharing the same gene pool. Group of populations composed of organisms with common ancestry, sharing similar structures, functions, behaviours, etc. and able to freely interbreed in nature. Group of species that live together and interact in a given area. An interactive system composed of one of more communities and their abiotic (physical) environment. Direct evidence of evolution comes from fossils, especially in layered sediments.
