Human evolution

The document discusses various factors affecting genetic variation in populations, including genetic recombination, mutations, hybridization, gene migration, and genetic drift. It also outlines the evolutionary history of plants and animals, detailing the origins and development of different species, including humans. Key concepts such as the founder effect, bottleneck effect, and the evolution of major plant and animal groups are highlighted.

iii) Hybridization : It is crossing of organisms which are genetically


different in one or more traits.
