meanwhile I'm revising my notes on evolution lmao

2019-10-07 05:18:12 UTC  

natural selection and artificial selection are cool

2019-10-07 05:18:21 UTC  

take bT cotton for example

2019-10-07 05:18:30 UTC  

or pesticide resistant plants

2019-10-07 05:19:28 UTC  

people sign away their rights

2019-10-07 05:19:32 UTC  

an example of artificial evolution would be humans taking the mustard plant and breeding broccoli

2019-10-07 05:19:44 UTC  

even dogs

2019-10-07 05:19:51 UTC  

they can listen to phone even when they are turned off

2019-10-07 05:19:53 UTC  

dogs are a better example of artificial selection

2019-10-07 05:21:59 UTC  

yeah wild mustard produced a wide range of plants

2019-10-07 05:22:12 UTC  

sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi

2019-10-07 05:23:12 UTC  

natural selection does have a few examples

2019-10-07 05:23:22 UTC  

take the finches

2019-10-07 05:23:36 UTC  

you could consider it allopatric speciation

2019-10-07 05:23:49 UTC  

and eventually they become reproductively isolated

2019-10-07 05:24:06 UTC  

which basically means that some sort of geographical barrier has separated one species

2019-10-07 05:24:21 UTC  

and eventually the two species change so much that they are no longer able to produce viable offspring with the other

2019-10-07 05:24:37 UTC  

an example of this would be if you took a field of mice

2019-10-07 05:24:49 UTC  

maybe half and half, half being white and half being black

2019-10-07 05:25:00 UTC  

let's say a river separates the two into two groups

2019-10-07 05:25:11 UTC  

(this is an example of allopatric speciation)

2019-10-07 05:25:18 UTC  

now the populations are split

2019-10-07 05:25:35 UTC  

these two populations, over many generations, evolve independently

2019-10-07 05:25:43 UTC  

eventually they become genetically distinct

2019-10-07 05:25:44 UTC  

and wham

2019-10-07 05:25:52 UTC  

you've got new species on your hands

2019-10-07 05:26:34 UTC  

I think i've studied enough for tonight

2019-10-07 05:26:37 UTC  

I'm gonna head out

2019-10-07 05:30:50 UTC  

bbl!

2019-10-07 05:31:00 UTC  

finally

2019-10-07 05:31:11 UTC  

greetings
