Evolution is supported by an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence. What makes Darwin\'s theory of evolution so powerful? What types of data document patterns and processes of evolution? What does homology mean and how is it important with respect to evolution? How types of homology are for providing evidence of evolution? How does the fossil record provide support for the theory of evolution? Why do sugar gliders and flying squirrels look so much alike? What do we call the similarity between flying squirrels and sugar gliders? Provide a complete explanation for the question, \"what is evolution\"

Solution

Q1). Charles Darwin was the initial scientist to elucidate the eminent role of natural selection in speciation. Darwin described that by the theory of natural selection \"innumerable transitional forms should have existed.\" That evidently concluded that species in fact do exist in nature in both space and time implies that some fundamental characteristic of natural selection operates to produce and maintain sustained species.

Darwin\'s theory of evolution has become so powerful because the concept of \"natural selection\" is explaining the evolution in every angle.

The four premises of evolution by natural selection as proposed by Charles Darwin include the following.

a). The offspring produced by each species is more than that are actually survive to maturity.

b). Inheritable variation in the traits is exhibited by all the individuals in a population.

c). The principle of survival of the fittest applies for all species, all the individuals in a population compete for the available resources to survive.

d). Most of the favorable combination of traits are inherited by the future generations as these individuals have more chances to survive and reproduce.
