Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution: Evolution consists of changes in the heritable traits of a population of organisms as successive generations replace one another. It is populations of organisms that evolve, not individual organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Evolution is a process that results in changes in the genetic material of a population over time. Evolution reflects the adaptations of organisms to their changing environments and can result in altered genes, novel traits, and new species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Evolution is defined as the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations.
