Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Modern synthetic theory of evolution -

Modern synthetic theory of evolution i combination of Mendelian genetics and Darwinian natural selection.

It is also known as Neo-Darwinism (term coined by Weismann).

According to this theory, population is unit of evolution.

It explains reasons for variation - mutation, genetic recombination, natural selection, reproductive isolation, heredity.

Accumulation of genetic variations is major driving force for evolution.

This theory states that isolation is important component of evolution.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
