Evolution
A change in inherited traits or properties within a population over generations.
Mutation
A random change in DNA that can affect traits in organisms.
Natural Selection
The process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Heritability
The ability of a trait to be passed down from one generation to the next.
Random Mutation Disadvantage
Individuals with random mutations may have less survival capability in their natural environment.
Selective Breeding
The process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic traits.
Genetic Variability
The tendency of individual genetic characteristics in a population to differ.
Domestication of Dogs
The process where dogs were genetically altered through selective breeding over generations.
Intermediate Forms
Variations within a species that result from selective pressures or breeding.
