Directional selection


Should there be a cure for every type of disease?

No, there should not be a cure to every disease. Natural selection is a basic function of life, and often disease is part of that natural selection. Imagine the population explosion of humans if we could cure all disease? If we weren't dying from disease, then we'd be dying from famine.


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.


What does natural selection eliminate from populations?

Natural selection is a term that, if you stated it fully, would say something like "The fittest individuals are naturally selected for reproduction." Unfit organisms do not survive to reproduce and pass on their genes.


What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?

Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.


How is a population different after it has experienced natural selection?

A population is different after natural selection because some of the negative genes have been weeded out. By experiencing natural selection things like obesity, weakness, and disease will be cut from the genetic pool (after many generations of coarse). Take a look at the Nam family to get a good example of this.


What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?

natural selection


Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?

Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.


How are plants made resistant to pests?

The different methods of plant breeding for disease resistance includes seed selection, pedigree selection,recurrent selection,use of natural or artificial induced mutants etc.


How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?

Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.


Is natural selection a form of adaptation?

Natural selection is what causes adaptation.


Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?

No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
