Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.. Biological evolution is defined as organisms reproducing but experiencing changes with each generation. Evolution can happen in a small and large context. There are small genetic changes between generations, as well as large changes that happen over multiple generations.. of . the Red . Queen. CfE. . Advanced Higher Biology. Unit . 2: .
