∙ 14y agoAscent is an antonym of descent.
Natural descent is basically another term for generations (as in a family-line). Legal descent is a term that deals with inheritance rules that were established to describe what happens if someone passes away and leaves no legal will.
tracing descent through the mother.
"Rate of descent" is a speed; so the idea is to divide the distance by the time.
speciation
evolution
The descent of modification is also known as the theory of evolution by natural selection. This concept, proposed by Charles Darwin, states that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation.
Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
evolution
Biologists use the term "evolution" when referring to descent with modification, which encompasses the changes in inherited traits of a population over successive generations.
Darwin used the phrase "descent with modification" (he didn't use the term "evolution")
Darwin used the phrase "descent with modification" in his book "On the Origin of Species" instead of the word "evolution." He used this phrase to describe the process by which species change over time through natural selection.
No, reproduction is a key component of evolution as it allows for genetic variations to be passed on to the next generation. Without reproduction, there would be no way for species to introduce genetic diversity and adapt to changing environments over time.
Charles Darwin's idea of how species change over time is called natural selection. This process involves the survival and reproduction of organisms that are best adapted to their environment, leading to gradual changes in the characteristics of a population.
Descent with modification (Apex)
Darwinian evolution is descent with modification and natural selection, or, in other terms, reproductive variation and differential reproductive success.
