Study Notes

Darwin's Four Postulates

Variation exists among individuals in a population, impacting traits such as size and shape.
Heritability refers to genetic traits that can be passed down to offspring; for example, tall parents often have tall children.
Differential reproduction occurs when more offspring are produced than can survive, leading to only certain individuals reproducing successfully.
The frequency of traits can change from generation to generation; natural selection favors individuals with advantageous heritable traits, leading them to produce more offspring.
