Is the process of evolution most commonly seen as a rapid change in the characteristics of an individual organism?

No - individuals do not evolve, as each individual's genes do not change, and evolution is defined as the change in allele frequencies over time.

Which is a process that causes an organism's poorly suited characteristics to disappear?
An individual organism does not lose characteristics. A species can, over time, and this is called natural selection, which thus results in evolution.
How do organisms change over time?
The evolution of a organism depends on what type of organism it is
What did Lamarck have to do with evolution?
Lamarck believed that there was a form of evolution, but contrary to Darwin after him, he believed that the characteristics an organism acquires during his life are inherited by its descendants. For more on Lamarck's hypothesis, see the related question below.
What term describes the changes that an organism goes through?
It is called "evolution".
Which statement is more accurate to scientist the evolution of a single individual organism or the evolution of a whole species?
Single individuals are naturally selected, but populations ( can be whole species ) evolve. Any mutation happening in the germ line of an individual will die with him. Only his progeny can inherit said mutation and evolve. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.

Is the process of evolution is most commonly seen as a rapid change in the characteristic of and individual organism true or false?
That is false.
How do organisms change over time?

Which characteristics of life is not essential to survival of an individual organism?
Reproduction

The actual characteristics an organism has?
The actual characteristics of an organism according to biologists are... a. a complex organization b. metabolism c. responsiveness to stimuli d. growth e. reproduction f. evolution (adaptability to changes in environment) g. they can alter their environment
The process by which an organism grows and changes over time?
(The fact of) Evolution. The fact of evolution applies to individual organisms and can not be refuted.
What characteristics makes reproduction different from the other organic functions you have studied?
it is not necessary for the survival of the individual organism.
Evolution can occur through a variety of mechanisms. what best describes how gene flow can occur?
An individual organism moves into a new population
What is individual organism?
An individual organism is one single organism of a species.
Effects of technology in evolution of organism?
Effects of Technologies on Evolution
What is the process of change that occurs during an organisms life to produce a more complex organism?
The correct answer is GROWTH and/or DEVELOPMENT... one of the characteristics of life... Evolution is the change in a species over a long period of time.... you would not notice these changes in an organism's life. ===================================== When an organism becomes more complex during its own life, that is called growth or growth and development.
