Using an evidence-based approach, argue either for or against the contention that evolution through natural selection with adaptive radiation is an overarching theoretical framework that explains the current diversity of living organisms.

in other words, what do you think of the above statement?

There are several evidence that we see today and also through fossil record or review of literature which strongly suggest this concept and I have no second thought on this and I strongly believe on ‘Evolution through natural selection and among them only nature allow to live for the best organism in the nature whether it is tiny parasitic organism that come from millions of spores or most evolved animal like us, the human.

In the nature, an organism that can make endogenous changes or exogenous changes (adaptive changes) whichever require to increase their chances for the survival and also to increase their number (reproduction). Every day each animal including us learns new adaptation to increase our suitability for the surrounding environment.   Such changes linked to each other genera and also bridge among animals of different clade and share great affinity (they also share genetic homology or number genes). Therefore, this evolution is crucial for the natural selection and significantly essential for the animal diversity.

Evolution by natural selection is an emergent property of the structure of DNA. According to the theory, individuals vary in form and behaviour in heritable ways, which leads to different survival rates of their offspring. True or False? The type of evolutionary relationship shown in phylogenetic trees is called horizontal gene transfer. Endosymbiosis is not an example of horizontal gene transfer.
