The process where individuals with beneficial traits survive and reproduce more than others, leading to evolutionary change.

A random process that can change allele frequencies in a population due to chance events, affecting evolution.

A change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome that can be neutral, beneficial, or deleterious.

The transfer of genes between populations through migration, which can alter allele frequencies.

The concept that the strongest or most suitable organisms survive and reproduce in their environment.

Known as the 'age of reptiles', a significant period in Earth's history.

Referred to as the 'age of mammals', marked by the rise of mammals.

Known as the 'age of fishes', a crucial time for fish evolution.

The foundation of modern evolutionary studies, explaining evolution mechanisms.

Small-scale evolution, leading to sub-species or geographic races.

Large-scale evolution, including significant changes at species level.

Evolution on a large scale, affecting families, orders, classes, and phyla.

Theory by Lamarck that emphasizes inheritance of acquired traits and adaptation.
