These notes include in depth, detailed summaries, with visual diagrams and colour coding of the following topics: - Macroevolution - Adaptive radiation vs Stasis - Graduation vs Punctuated equilibrium - Natural selection - Genetic variation - Polyploidy, gene flow and genetic drift - Artificial selection - Zea maya (corn) and wild mustard These notes are in the form of digital hand written notes. I used these notes personally when studying for my finals in Life Sciences - I obtained 100% for my portfolio assessments and 95% as my final mark (top 1% nationally).
