List the six major components of Darwin’s Modern Theory of Evolution (MToE).
The six major components of Darwin's Modern Theory of Evolution-
1. Overproduction- An organism produces a number of offspring,
more gametes, too many individuals. So, that more offsprings are
produced and there are more chances of survival.
2. Competition-There is fighting between individuals for mate,
food, or territory. They compete for everything.
3.Variation- There are differences between organisms. These
differences favor some organisms to survive. There are differences
in the traits of an organism. These variations increase the
survival of the population.
4.Adaptation- Organism try to adapt to the changing environment.
These adaptations help in the survival of the organism.
5. Natural Selection- When nature selects the fittest individual.
The fittest organism survives and reproduces and produces a number
of organisms and eventually, then the entire population eventually
has a particular characteristic.
6. Speciation- Speciation is the formation of new species. New
species are formed due to genetic drift, mutation, and
migration.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, the impact of Darwin's Theory of Evolution on virtually every aspect of society cannot be denied. Why do you think Physical Educators jumped on the "evolution bandwagon?" In what ways do you still see the influence of "survival of the fittest" on modern sport?

11) Evolution by common descent is referred to as a theory because A) it's an idea from more than 100 years ago and thus is not a modern idea. B) scientists are reasonably sure it's true, but there's little evidence to support it. C) there is overwhelming evidence to support it from many areas of biology. D) it's the only idea about life on Earth that can be tested by observation of the material universe.
