Mechanisms of Evolution

The mechanism of evolution has been explained with theories such as the Big Bang Theory, the Theory of Darwin, and the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium where evolution is the process of natural selection that causes changes in the traits of species over multiple generations. 

The Big Bang Theory:

The most widely accepted theory for the origin of life on Earth and its various forms is the Big Bang Theory. According to the hypothesis, as a result of a massive explosion, the universe was created 20 billion years ago.

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium:

According to the idea of Hardy-Weinberg, allelic frequency and gene pool remain stable throughout generations. Furthermore, the allelic frequencies add up to 1.

Theory of Darwin:

The Theory of Darwin's natural selection hypothesis provided a more reasonable explanation for the emergence of new species. As a result of adaptation to changing environmental conditions, natural selection led to the evolution of multiple species from a single species.
