Study Notes

Heredity and Evolution

Heredity refers to the passing of traits or characteristics from parents to offspring through the transmission of genetic information.

Driving Force behind Evolution

The main driving force behind evolution is natural selection, which is the process by which individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to their offspring.

Homologous and Analogous Structures

Homologous structures are body parts that are shared between different species and have a common evolutionary origin, but may have different forms and functions (e.g., arm bones in humans and wings in birds).
Analogous structures, on the other hand, are body parts that have similar forms and functions but are not necessarily shared between species and do not have a common evolutionary origin (e.g., wings in birds and insects).
