According to Darwin's theory of natural selection individuals who survive are the ones best adapt ed for their environment What is their survival dependent on?
It is called "natural selection", also known popularly as "survival of the fittest". This mechanism suggests that organisms will flourish if they are compatible with their environment (light, food, water, predators, weather), and will die and cease reproduction if they are not.
What term is defined as the tendency of somebody member of a population to be better able to survive and reproduce and pass in their charaeristics?
Natural selection.
How does natural selection influence mimicry?
Quite simply, the better an individual is able to mimic its surroundings, the less likely a predator is to spot it. This gives it a better chance of mating and passing its genes on to the next generation.
What is a beneficial feature that evolved by means of natural selection?
Your brain is one of the most important human features evolved by natural selection. ( perhaps sexual selection also had something to do with it )
How is selection breeding different than natural selection?
Selective breeding is the process whereby one controls the breeding patterns of biological entities to yield specific traits. This can also mean forcing breeding to boost recessive traits in a population.Natural selection, on the other hand, results only in populations that express traits that allow for survival and further reproduction within a given environment (selection pressure).
What is natural selection also known as?
Survival of the fittest
The weak died and the strong survives?
Also known as Darwins theory of Natural Selection, as in survival of the fittest.
What concepts were proposed by Darwin?
Natural selection is a big one also known as survival of the fittest. He also had the concept that all living things had a common ancestor
Which type of natural selection occurs when the extreme opposites in a phenotype range are selected?
Disruptive selection, also known as diversifying selection.
What does Darwinian mean?
Relating to Charles Darwin or his theory of natural selection, i.e. survival of the fittest. Also, highly competitive

Natural selection.
How does natural selection determine the differential survival of groups of organisms?
In a sense, one might say that this is the case. But in a more direct sense, natural selection determines which organisms do not get to procreate (as much). Natural selection is therefore more a limiting phenomenon than an enabling one.
Do inherited traits and adaptations determine survival and reproduction?
Yes, due to natural selection and survival of the fittest only the best traits get passed on the offspring to assure survival. The ones with the best genes will also be able to produce more offspring
How natural selection may have led some fungi to produce antiboitics?
Since natural selection also means the survival of the fittest, those organisms that produce antibiotics (against life) had a weapon to keep other organisms from taking their space that they needed to grow and reproduce.
How does natural selection influence mimicry?
Quite simply, the better an individual is able to mimic its surroundings, the less likely a predator is to spot it. This gives it a better chance of mating and passing its genes on to the next generation.
What does natural selection change the frequently of?
If there is a genetic mutation in an individual strong enough to modify there chance of survival it opens the door for natural selection. If the effect is positive they are more likely to outlive their original species. If it is negative it decreases their chance of outliving their original species. Also known as survival of the fittest it favors positive trays by "eliminating" negative ones.
