Document Summary
Answering small tractable questions can help towards a bigger question. Obtain same data from many species. Manipulate a system to address a specific hypothesis, requires an experimental design and statistical analysis. Important assumptions about evolution verified by science studies. Lineages split or branch by speciation resulting in the generation of biodiversity. Most evolutionary change results from natural selection (the only process responsible for the evolution of biodiversity and adaptation) Any trait that contributes to fitness by making an organism better able to. The evolutionary process that leads to the origin and the maintenance of such survive/reproduce in a given environment (noun) traits (verb) The best studies come from a . Testing theoretical models evolutionary change speciation, etc. field. Determining the of common ancestry ( phylogenetics ) Founder event : lots of variability in the founding region but very little diversity anywhere else. Done by humans in the case of the water hyacinth.
