evolutionary dynamics and adaptation

Evolutionary dynamics refers to the changes and transformations occurring in the genetic makeup of a population over time. It involves studying the factors that influence the frequencies of different genetic variants (alleles) within a population, such as natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and migration. Adaptation, on the other hand, refers to the process by which populations become better suited to their environment through the accumulation of beneficial genetic traits. It occurs through natural selection, as individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual spread of these traits within a population.
