How does natural selection predict a gradualistic mode of evolution?
Gradualism isn't a prediction of natural selection, but of our understanding the mechanisms that produce reproductive variation. Natural selection makes predictions about allele frequencies in populations and reproductive fitness.
What does natural selection predict about mimicry camoflauge homologous structures and vestigial structures?
a
Can animals predict volcanoes?
Yes, a few animals can predict the natural calamities.
Why do scientist try to predict natural disasters?
They happen so fast
Why are people not well prepared for natural disasters?
You cannot predict a natural diaster unless you have been notifyed by a special organisation

True of False As a result of hundreds of thousands of years of natural selection modern humans are now perfectly adapted to their environment?
False. Organisms are never ' perfectly adapted to the environment, as evolution is blind and can not predict the future, or create anew. All is ' tinkered ' together in the organism on top of adaptions that were from past environments. Natural selection adapts as best it can to the immediate environment and carries vestigial traits and poor engineering solutions on to future generations. ( appendix and the hole in the retina for two examples of this ) While man can shape his environment only a benighted social scientists could think we, as living organisms. are beyond natural selection and evolution, or that we have been perfectly adapted to the present environment.
What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
What are the benefits of evolution?
Well, our existence. That's one. Orgasms, that's a product of evolution. Happiness, joy, the instinct to help one another, those are all products of natural selection. We also use evolution to fight against diseases, predict how they're going to change and so on. Evolution also ensures that the various changing ecosystems in the world don't come crashing to a halt and cut short our food supply, that's nice. If you mean our continued evolution, we're getting smarter (though at a depressingly slow rate), taller, and we're adapting to changes in our diets.
The theory of evolution would predict that human DNA is most similar to that of?
Primates
What is the next step for evolution?
Evolution doesn't work like a step-ladder going up. It is a diverging tree. Where humanity is going is very difficult to predict. Natural selection doesn't act much upon our populations any more. Now our evolution will be governed almost exclusively by genetic drift which is a random process. One simply cannot predict this, it just might be that tomorrow another major extinction event occurs wiping out 99.99% of species and things effectively have to start over with a severely pruned evolutionarily tree. Given such an event and the fact that there is only one human speciesand well over a million beetle species, which do you think has the higher statistical chance of surviving long term.
How is the study of evolution similar to the study of history?
The study of evolution and history both involve analyzing and interpreting change over time. Evolutionary biology focuses on genetic changes in populations, while history examines changes in societies, cultures, and events. Both disciplines use evidence to understand the processes that have shaped the modern world.

What do scientists do to predict tsunamis?
they predict other natural disasters like earthquakes and see if the trembles will reach the other side of the ocean causing a tsunami.
