Natural selection select depending on 2 things.
1. The ability to survive in a habitat until reprocing
2. The ability to reproduce and to get a mate

What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
How does natural selection affect the frequency of mutatons?
Natural selection works on mutations that are already in place. The environmental changes will select for certain mutations if the selective pressure is supplied long enough for several generations of offspring to carry a higher percentage of the mutation.
Type of selection in which human select the variation?
Artificial selection.
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
How can a wide range of phenotypes increase the chance that some individuals will survive in a changing environment?
by natural selection.
Which natural selection select against both extremes?
Stabilizing selection.
How does environment select organisms?
natural selection
Why would natural selection not occur in this poplutation?
What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.
What is the process where animal select mates with traits best suited for survival?
natural selection. :)
Is inheritance a requirement for natural selection?
Yes it does. Without variance in the organisms genome, that gives variance to the phenotype, there would be nothing for natural selection to select from.
What characteristic within populations cause natural selection to occur?
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
A technique in which breeders select particular traits to be passed on is called what?
A technique in which breeders select particular traits to be passed on is called? A)Natural Selection B)Artificial Selection C)Darwin Selection D)Synthetic geneology
Why must a population have a genetic variation in order for natural selection to occur?
Without variation there is nothing to select from.
Why is it hard for natural selection to stop the declin of the cheetah population?
No genetic variation in the cheetah population gene pool, so natural selection has nothing to select from and the inbreeding depression keeps deleterious traits breeding true among cheetahs and natural selection can not eliminate them from the gene pool.
Explanation of Natural and Artificial Selection?
Artificial selection is when humans select traits, such as color or taste and breed for those traits. Natural selection chooses the creatures that are best able to give birth to more offspring, carrying on their genes. The environment chooses.
Is considered an important factor in natural selection?
Mutation is the important " starter " of the adaptive change engendered by natural selection. Variation is key to selection and without variation in organisms there would be nothing to select from for the survival and reproductive success of the organism against the immediate environment.
What in humans select traits that will be passed from one generation to another elective breeding or natural selection?
elective breeding
