The leading role of evolution is played by the following type of variability. View, its criteria

The theory of evolution by Ch. Darwin and A. Wallace.

Basic provisions:

1. All kinds of living organisms arose naturally.

2. Organisms slowly and gradually transformed and improved.

3. The basis for the transformation of species is variability, heredity and natural selection. Selection is carried out through the interactions of organisms with each other and environmental factors. These interactions are called the struggle for existence.

4. Individuals that are most adapted to changing environmental conditions survive and give full-fledged offspring.

Synthetic theory of evolution - this is a rethinking of a number of provisions of Darwinism from the standpoint of genetics (S. Chetverikov, J. Haldane, N. Timofeev-Resovsky, R. Fisher). It is characterized as a theory of evolution occurring through natural selection of traits determined genetically.

Basic provisions:

1. The elementary unit of evolution is the population.

2. The material for evolution is mutational and combinational variability.

3. Natural selection is considered as the main reason for the development of adaptations, speciation and the origin of supraspecific taxa.

4. A species is a group of populations reproductively isolated from populations of other species.

5. Speciation consists in the emergence of genetic isolating mechanisms and is carried out in conditions of geographic isolation.

The process of formation of new genera from species, from genera to families, from families to orders, etc. called macroevolution. Unlike microevolution occurring within a population, macroevolution is supraspecific and very long-term evolution.

Evolutionary processes are evidenced by paleontological, morphological, embryological and biochemical data.

There are three main directions of evolution.

Aromorphosis evolutionary changes leading to a qualitatively new level of organization (multicellularity, central nervous system, photosynthesis). Thanks to aromorphosis, new large taxonomic units arise: types (departments), classes.

Idioadaptation - small evolutionary changes, expressed in adaptation to the environment. There is no increase in the level of organization. Thanks to idioadaptation, small taxonomic groups are formed: species, genera, families.

Mutations constantly arise in populations under the influence of factors and cause changes in its gene pool. population waves- this is a phenomenon of fluctuations in the number of populations, which are associated with periodic changes in the intensity of environmental factors (change of seasons, precipitation, temperature fluctuations).

Insulation contributes to the prevention of interbreeding between individuals of different parts of the population and leads to a divergence of characters within the same species.

Geographic isolation leads to a rupture of a single range of a species into separate parts and prevents crossing. The reasons for its appearance are the emergence of mountains, new rivers, straits, etc.

Environmental isolation based on differences in dispersal or breeding times. For example, some species of salmon spawn in a year, and in the same rivers one population of fish spawns in one year, and another in another.

biological isolation associated with differences in the structure of the genital organs, in marriage songs, courtship rituals, emitted odors, etc.

The greatest importance in the evolutionary process is natural selection. It plays a creative role in nature, distinguishing from undirected hereditary changes only those that lead to the formation of new groups of individuals that will be more adapted to new environmental conditions.

Soviet biologist I.I. Schmalhausen developed (1946) the concept of group selection - the survival of populations, species, genera, families, orders, etc. But since group selection occurs on the basis of the experience of the organisms that make up these groups, individual natural selection also plays a leading role in evolution - the selection of the most adapted individuals.
