After conducting research in regards to evolution, there are 3 main concepts that each learner ought to understand and relate. The first evolutionary concept is variation. Biologically, variation refers to the existing differences between different individuals in a given community or population. The second evolutionary concept is natural selection. Generally, this concept involves a process where only the strongest survive in relation to the competition of resources. The last evolutionary concept is species which refers to a group of organisms that have the same similarities. Basically, in relation to evolution, natural selection has a role in eliminating the weaker species of a given population. Elimination takes place as a result of the competition of food, water, and other survival amenities. Biologically, there are different types of biological selection such as directional and stabilizing selection, kin, sexual and disruptive selection. In relation to the different types of natural selection, it is safe to state the idea that natural selection not only occurs as a result of environmental changes but also due to factors such as a species sex and kin.

Biologically, genetics and evolution play a vital role in the development and adaptation of species. For starters, genetics and evolution play an important role in that they help a living organism become well – adapted to its surrounding environment. Secondly, genetics and evolution contribute to the biological development and adaptation of species since it leads to the growth or elimination of features that are needed or not needed in surrounding environment respectively. Lastly, genetics and evolution in the adaptation and biological development of species play a role in bringing out species that can successfully exist in it’s habitat.
