Genetics studies how living organisms
inherit features from their ancestors; for example, children often look like
their parents. Genetics seeks to identify which features are inherited, and
explain how these features are passed from generation to generation.
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is the
widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common
ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers — all related.
Darwin’s general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and
stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) “descent with modification”. That
is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over
time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism’s
genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival
— a process known as “natural selection.” These beneficial mutations are passed
on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the
result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original,
but an entirely different creature).
