What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
How can a wide range of phenotypes increase the chance that some individuals will survive in a changing environment?
by natural selection.
Does natural selection occur in the world today?
Yes, natural selection is always occurring.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
How did Darwin relate Malthus's ideas to evolution by natural selection?
By science
Relate natural selection to the beak sizes of finches?
The numbers of birds with different beak shapes are changed by natural selection in response to the available food suply.
How does ATP as a universal energy currency relate to the theory of evolution by natural selection?
It really doesn't. It's just what we choose to do with our electrons.
How does natural selection relate to randomness?
In all natural processes, there is an element of chance. In natural selection, most of that chance is introduced by the randomness of the genetic variations it works with. But other elements of chance exist as well. Natural selection is a stochastic phenomenon: not every less able variant will produce less offspring than the more able variant; much depends on chance environmental circumstances.
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.
What is a mutation and how does it relate to evolution?
A mutation is any change in the DNA. Mutations provide the genetic variation that evolution by natural selection needs to select from.
Does the term pioneer have to relate to a person?
Yes it does. For example, "She pioneered the student graduate scheme" or "Charles Darwin pioneered the natural selection theory of evolution"
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 does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
How does adaptation relate to natural selection?
Its a chicken and egg situation. Adaptation is the response to Natural Selection, and Natural Selection is the response to Adaptation. They both operate by the principle: the members of any species that are best adapted to their environment are the ones most likely to survive and reproduce the next generation, where the process repeats. That does not mean the strongest or most aggressive, they often get themselves killed off.
Is natural selection a form of adaptation?
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
