Mutation is the important " starter " of the adaptive change engendered by natural selection. Variation is key to selection and without variation in organisms there would be nothing to select from for the survival and reproductive success of the organism against the immediate environment.
What else can I help you with?
What is an important factor of natural selection?
Variations within a population
All BUT one factor contributes to natural selection That factor is?
Randomness.
What is a factor that controls Natural selection?
the fitest survive
What factor of natural selection causes competition?
Overproduction
Why is time an important factor in the process evolution by natural selection?
Because natural selection only preserves incremental beneficial traits to the organism and many different areas of the organism are undergoing mutation and natural selection at the same time against the backdrop of the immediate environment. If a population of organisms, subject to allele change due to natural selection, is not in a changing environment, or split in a allopatric event, then adaptive change will be very slow, or will not happen at all and selection will winnow those variants and stabilizing selection is taking place. Regression to the mean of phenotype.
What is one factor that affects natural selection and artificial selection?
Variation in the organisms under selection. In both artificial selection and natural selection there must be heritable variations that have the possibility of being in the case of artificial selection what the selector wants in the organism and in thje case of natural selection survivability and reproductive advantages.
Darwin believed that the central factor to organic evolution was?
Natural Selection :)
Darwin belived that the central factor to organic evolution was?
Natural selection.
Which form of natural selection is most likely to play a role in speciation?
Reproductive isolation through sexual selection is often an important factor in speciation. This type of natural selection can lead to the evolution of reproductive barriers that prevent individuals from different populations from successfully interbreeding, ultimately resulting in the formation of distinct species.
Why is pH an important factor in shampoo selection?
acidic and alkaline
Explain one factor that affect survival and natural selection?
One factor that affects survival and natural selection is genetic variation. Genetic variation within a population allows for individuals with traits that better suit their environment to survive and reproduce, leading to the passing on of advantageous traits to future generations through natural selection.
Which factor is the most powerful evolutionary force in large populations over time?
natural selection
