I confidently understand natural selection as the process where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on those traits to the next generation. This results in the prevalence of those traits in a population over time, while less favorable traits diminish.
Although challenging, I struggled with visualizing how genetic variations can become more prevalent in a population over generations. Through studying various examples and case studies, I eventually grasped the concept.
To reinforce my understanding of key terms, I created flashcards with definitions and regularly reviewed them to improve retention for assessments.
I am interested in delving deeper into the technologies influencing trait inheritance, such as genetic engineering and gene editing, and their impact on genetic variation and future evolution. I am also intrigued by the ethical implications of these advancements
that may influence the direction of evolution.
As I continue to explore the complexities of natural selection, adaptation, and genetic variation, I am constantly amazed by the intricacies of the natural world and how organisms have evolved over millions of years to survive in their environments.
By further immersing myself in the study of evolutionary biology, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving genetic diversity and adaptation in the natural world. I am eager to continue learning and expanding my knowledge in this fascinating field of science.
