Evolution, speciation and classification GapFill

 Albert EinsteinGregor MendelCarl WoeseCarl LinnaeusIsaac NewtonCharles Darwin is considered the father of evolution for his development of theory of evolution by natural selection. Although there was significant opposition at the time, his idea is now widely accepted due to evidence such as antibiotic resistance in  bacteriafungialgaevirusesprotistsinsects, or  the ozone layertree ringsancient civilisationsfossilssea level changeastronomy, which are the preserved remains of organisms that died millions of years ago. By studying these remains, which may be of species that have since completely died out (become  heterozygouscodominantextinctpreymutatedevolved), changes to species over time can be identified. However, gaps might exist as  aquatichard-shelledintelligentlargesoft-bodiedphotosynthetic or microscopic organisms will not be well preserved.

The number of different species formed as a result of evolution is vast. As a result of work by Linnaeus, species can now be grouped into  one hundredtwentyeightsevententwo well-defined groups, and named using the  nominalclassificationphylogeneticmonopolybiomebinomial system. Increasing understanding of biology has led to different theories of classification, such as the three  domainprokaryotegenusallelekingdommutant system, which divides organisms into archaea,  animaliaplantaeHomo sapiensmammaliafungibacteria and eukaryota.
