Some types of selection pressures that could act on a population of an animal species are searching for food, searching for water, and finding a mate. Other pressure could be avoiding predators and finding shelter.

Describe natural selection animals life recatagorize?
yes they are
How was the domestication of animals and plants was appiled to the theory of natural selstion?
These plants and animals were subjected to artificial selection so that the traits humans wanted in the organisms were selected for and the organisms not having these traits were culled. This, with some modification, is a good analogue for natural selection and artificial selection shows how organisms can be shaped over time with the proper selective pressures. The selective pressure of humans in artificial selection and the selective pressure of the environment in natural selection.
Why is artificial selection important to people?
Humans use artificial selection to breed animals, to have their desired features in them and to take out unwanted features from them. Artificial Selection is mostly used to make animals more obedient or sometimes used to increase the population of endangered animals.
What animals live in the high pressures on the sea bed?
The kraken
How will you describe an animals?
i can describe animals like dog, cat,etc
Is artificial selection an agent of evolutionary change?
NO. Both artificial and natural selection are forms of Evolution in general. Both cause variation by selection within a particular population. The only difference is who is doing the selection, humans or nature.
Which term describe the process of plants and animals producing more offspring than are able to survive?
overbreeding leading to decrease in population.
Where do you get animals in Oregon?
The Humane Society. They have lots of animals and you can find a wide selection of animals
Natural selection acts on variation by?
Natural selection acts on variation by picking out from a population's gene pool those that are more fit to survive. More variation leads to more natural selection. For example, currently endangered cheetas are found out to have less genetic variation than other animals. As a result, if a disatrouous event occured, there are no genes that could help the cheetas survived. Thus, natural selection prevent the cheetas from reproducing as a population and they become extinct.
Why is natural selection important for the animals?
Because all animals that exist have formed, and are being formed and re-formed, continuously, primarily by natural selection.
Does population include animals?
No the population does not include animals. It only includes the human population.
What was the time period when people started to domesticate animals?
Mesolithic period Domestication is the process whereby a population of animals or plants, through a process of selection, becomes accustomed to human provision and control. A more plausible theory for domesticating animals is rising populations. If a population became too large, then it would be difficult to live off the land successfully. They would be forced to hunt too much, and the wild animals would become scarce. Instead, they could capture and breed the animals to preserve them. If in some areas the climate had indeed changed, and there was a draught, combined with the large population, there would be an even greater need to settle down and try to control the food supply. The earliest copies of documents describe that humans domesticated animals since early dates.
