meanwhile I'm revising my notes on evolution lmao
natural selection and artificial selection are cool
take bT cotton for example
or pesticide resistant plants
people sign away their rights
an example of artificial evolution would be humans taking the mustard plant and breeding broccoli
even dogs
they can listen to phone even when they are turned off
dogs are a better example of artificial selection
yeah wild mustard produced a wide range of plants
sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi
natural selection does have a few examples
take the finches
you could consider it allopatric speciation
and eventually they become reproductively isolated
which basically means that some sort of geographical barrier has separated one species
and eventually the two species change so much that they are no longer able to produce viable offspring with the other
an example of this would be if you took a field of mice
maybe half and half, half being white and half being black
(this is an example of allopatric speciation)
now the populations are split
these two populations, over many generations, evolve independently
eventually they become genetically distinct
and wham
you've got new species on your hands
I think i've studied enough for tonight
I'm gonna head out
bbl!
finally
