Explain one of Darwin's laws of evolution.
Living things increase in number geometrically. (overproduction)
There is no net increase in the number of individuals over a long period of time.
- A “struggle for existence” since not all individuals can survive.
- No two individuals exactly alike (genetic variation).
- In the struggle for existence, those variations which are better adapted to their environment leave behind them proportionately more offspring than those less adapted.

What type of microevolutionary property is when the genes mix between parents showing a mix of traits for the offspring?
Recombination

Why are adaptations/microevolution of mice and rats much easier to see than humans?
Larger populations, smaller lifespan.
