What helps an organism survive better in the environment?
adaption
What makes an organism better able to survive in its environment?
Adaptation
What were Darwin's ideas for natural selection?
The process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring.
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.
Does natural selection cause changes in the environment?
No, natural selection is the environment! The variant organism is selected against the immediate environment where it survives and reproduces better than it's conspecifics.
What is adaptation?
In Biology, adaptation is the process by which an organism changes to become better suited to survive in their environment. It can also refer to a physical or genetic trait that helps an organism to be better suited to survive in their environment. For example, polar bears are adapted to living in the cold because they grow thick fur that keeps them warm, and thus allows them to survive in their frigid environment. The color of their fur is also an adaptation. Because the environment they live in is mostly white, they have produced white fur to blend in, so they are not seen by the prey they hunt. Adaptation is powered by natural selection. When a trait arises that allows an organism to better adapt to their environment, it will be passed on to the next generation. Over time this trait will accumulate in the population. Inherited modification of an organism that increases its chances for its survival or protection in its environment; a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment. adaption is the environment the living thing wants to live in which conditions it likes to live which place is suitable for him and what it has chose to live The meaning is "suitable at any type of climate/ environment/condition."
Give one example of how the theory of micro evolution may help an organism survive its environment better?
it doesn't exist it doesn't exist
When physical or behavioral adaptations are passed down from one generation to the next because that characteristic helps the organism survive better in its environment it is called?
Natural selection.
How does variation within a species increases its chance to survive when the environment changes?
The differing traits provided by variation mean that at least some groups of the species may be better prepared to survive.
Is individuals with variations that make them better adapted to their environment will not survive?
no organisms adapt to the environment to help them survive
Why has the kangaroo adapted to the environment?
to survive better
Why do some organisms survive extreme environments?
Some organisms are better at adaptation to their environment because of their size, their diet, or any number of other reasons.
