How does natural selection enhance or reduce the variability of a species?

Natural selection doesn't reduce variation. Variation is regulated by the rate of mutation.
Natural selection reduces the chance of bad variation from being passed on and increases the chances for good variation to be passed on.

True or false Mutations can increase the variations in a species 'traits?
Mutations are important for evolution because they provide the variability whereupon natural selection acts.true last answered by zaporia
Natural selection is the mechanism which proved species?
have chromosomes.
How does adaptation fit into natural selection?
Adaptation and evolution all have to do with how an animal or a species depend on there environment. Adaptation is how the species adapts to there environment.Adaptation is caused by evolution by natural selection.
When was natural selection invented?
Natural selection was not invented. However, it was a theory created by Charles Darwin in his book The Origin of Species in 1859.
What is the name of the process that causes the species to evolve?
natural selection
How does natural selection enhance or reduce tha variability of a species?
Natural selection 'weeds out' defective genes through successive generations - this both enhances a species chances of survival, and reduces variations in the species genetic make-up.

What did Charles Darwin say about variation within species?
Because there is variation within a species, it is therefore possible for the law of natural selection to operate, by selecting those variations which best enhance survival and reproduction.
Does natural selection affect the survival of an individual or a species?
species
What is the process called where the environment in which a species lives causes a change to the collective genes of that species?
Natural selection, which is the mechanism for evolution.
Do all species have natural selection?
yes.
What is the formation of new species by natural selection?
We call this speciation, and is largely driven by evolution and natural selection.
What is one effect of natural selection?
Natural selection helps to increase biodiversity and the number of new species.
How is natural selection used in artificial selection?
Natural variation in artificial selection is used because humans choose from among the naturally occurring variation s in species. Natural selection is related to species fitness because Darwin called natural selection survival of the fittest because those that could survive would carry their species on there for being the naturally selected.
Darwins observation of overproduction in a species was that what?
While living organisms tend to overprodue, the population still remains stable over time and across generations. therefore, there is competition, and success in competition is due to variability. Competition and variability together function to select the most adaptive characteristic, giving us natural selection
Who wrote the book The Evolution of the Species by the Means of Natural Selection?
The book "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" was written by Charles Darwin.
Natural selection is the mechanism which proved species?
have chromosomes.
