Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution and diversity result from the interactions between organisms and their environments and the consequences of these interactions over long periods of time. Organisms continually adapt to their environments, and the diversity of environments that exists promotes a diversity of organisms adapted to them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The famous paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson defined systematics as the “scientific study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and of any and all relationships among them” (1961, p. 7). In more general terms, systematics can be thought of as the study of biodiversity.
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.
