Can an organism become another another species or organism mid-existence?
Sna1txh
One particular organism cannot become a different species in the middle of its lifetime. Doing so would mean an alteration to every strand of DNA in every cell of its body, which neither artificial science nor natural phenomena can do to the extent required.
One species or group of organisms can become a new species or group, or diverge into multiple species and groups. This is called speciation, and is observed in for example, Darwin's finches and some species of fruitflies.

What are some results of organism competition for limited resources within the environment?
Depending on which organism has the advantage that one will survive and the other species will die off and become extinct unless it finds a new niche.
What occurs when species that were distinct evolve similar traits?
The species probably evolved under similar circumstances and they become more similar as a result. Additionally, they can become more competitive with one another.
What would most likely prevent this fish from becoming an invasive species?
The introduced fish species would not become an invasive species if the fish shares a niche with the native species.
Which condition makes fossil formation of an organism's remains more likely?
One condition that best increases the chance that an organism will become fossilized is if the burial happens rapidly. Another condition that can increase the chance of an organism becoming fossilized is if the organism has hard body parts.
Does and organism have to be buried to become a fossil?
Yes it does.

What is the base word of susceptible?

Why does evolution say one species can become another species?
Because that is how evolution works. If one species adapts, it can eventually become so different as to be unrecognisable for what it was (given enough time). recent common ansester

What idea says that a type of organism that is better able to survive in its environment than another type of organism will produce more offspring and become predominant?
Natural selection.
What is the definition of an invasive species?
A troublesome species (that is probably parasitical) and invades the territory of another species, thus causing the invaded species to become irritated or extinct, depending on the scale of invasion.
What occurs when species that were distinct evolve similar traits?
The species probably evolved under similar circumstances and they become more similar as a result. Additionally, they can become more competitive with one another.
What eventually happens to a species when the environment changes and the organism do not adapt?
it doesn't grow normaly
Is a walnut an organism?
It is the seed of an organism- the walnut tree. It can grow to become an organism.
What are the changes that an organism goes through to become an adult?
the change an organism goes through to become an adult
What s the main idea of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection?
Basically, it is "survival of the fittest." As certain traits of species become in-adaptable to certain environmental changes, the organism with those traits will die out. The organism of that species with the stronger genes will live and reproduce, thus creating more of the strong trait and less of the other.
When organisms become extinct they are no longer alive?
that is correct they are gone for good Strictly speaking, the term extinction is not applied to individual organisms, it is applied to a species. If there are no longer any living members of a specific species, then that species is said to be extinct. When an organism is no longer alive it is said to be dead.
