Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution means (in general usage) the gradual development of something, especially from simple to more complex forms. In biological sciences, evolution involves the processes by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biological evolution is a process of descent with modification. Lineages of organisms change through generations; diversity arises because the lineages that descend from common ancestors diverge through time.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In biology, evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection.

Detailed explanation-5: -Evolution is the process by which species adapt over time in response to their changing environment.
