How do helpful variation accumulate in a species over time?
Helpful variations accumulate in a species over time by selecting those traits that allow it to better live in the environment it is in.
What may a series of helpful variation in a species result in?
Adaptation
How helpful variations accumulate in a specie over time?
Helpful variations accumulate in a species over time by selecting those traits that allow it to better live in the environment it is in.
How do helpful variations accumulate in species over time?
They don't die as often (or as fast) as the "non-helpful" variants.
What are specific examples of variation within a species?
Human species, as in the variation in height.
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
What is a major cause of variation within species?
Genetic variation, caused by mutations in DNA, is a major source of variation within species. Mutations can lead to differences in traits such as color, size, and behavior, allowing for natural selection to act upon these variations.
How do variation and natural selection work together to cause evolution?
They help each other by gradually accumulate in a species, while unfavorable ones may disappear. Over a long time, natural selection can lead to changes.
What is the correct term for variation in characteristics within populations of the same species A variation in characteristics within populations of the same species is called?
A variation in characteristics within populations of the same species is called intraspecific variation. This variation can occur due to genetic differences, environmental factors, and developmental processes, leading to diverse traits among individuals in the same species. Understanding intraspecific variation is crucial for studying evolution, ecology, and conservation.
Why is variation good for a species?
Sometimes positive variation can improve some ability of the species adapted to the environment. For example, a kind of virus can be killed by medicine A. A small part of the virus has some variation that make it can be alive with medicine A. The species of the virus can exist in future, or it will disappear in the future in the environment full of medicine A. Besides, positive variation can provide some capacity for the species to get more resource in the competition. Of course, there is negative variation that might contribute to the disappearance for the species. That is just another side of variation.
How could you distinguish between a species in which there is a lot of variation and two separate species?
Sometimes it is very hard to distinguish between a species where there is a lot of variation between that of a variation that is actually two separate species. Many times scientist disagree on how to tell these two things apart.
Is mango leaf a parallel variation?
No, mango leaf is not considered a parallel variation. Parallel variation refers to easy and reversible changes within a species or population, while mango leaf characteristics are part of the natural variation within the species.
