How are new species created?
Through Speciation - an evolutionary process which causes organisms which were once of the same species to become genetically distinct from one another (over numerous generations) to the point where they can no longer produce fertile offspring More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciation
What is the name of the process in which groups of organisms die out?
Extinction, maybe?
What is the process in which new organisms replace those that die?
repduction
The process through which species produce many more offspring than can possibly survive?
Overproduction
What is Darwin's theory of overpopulation?
The phenomenon of over-population, according to Darwin's theory, starts the whole process of evolutionary transformation of organisms. Overproduction is the main laws of natural selection ,it is the ability of a species to produce far more offspring than can survive. The number of organisms of each species are born into the world, more than the number of them, which can find their own food to survive and leave offspring, yet the number of each species in natural conditions is fairly constant. Therefore, it must be assumed that most of the offspring in each generation dies. If all the descendants of a species to survive and reproduce, then pretty soon they would be supplanted all other forms in the world.
The process by which organisms make offspring is?
Reproduction
Is the process through which traits are passed from parent to offspring?
acquired characteristics
How can heredity be observed?
heredity is the process by which characteristics are transmitted from parents to the offspring.
What is the process in which characteristics for survival are passed to offspring in order to ensure survival?
Community
How does heredity influence behavior?
The process and the result of the process by which the characteristics or traits are produced and transmitted from parents to offspring through the genes
What is selective breeding?
Selective breeding is the process in which two animals from the same species reproduce due to useful characteristics. Two animals with a certain type of characteristic are bred together to produce offspring. Then the offspring with the most useful characteristic breeds with another offspring to produce more offspring. This process continues for generations until the offspring consistently have the useful characteristic farmers or scientists are looking for. Cross-breeding is a type of selective breeding except with animals from two organisms from the same species but not the same breed. Selective breeding is one of the most common causes for a wide range of breeds in animals and varieties in plants. this is incorrectIt is the process which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular characteristics by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together
What are the steps in selective breeding?
Selective breeding is also called artificial selection. The steps include deciding which characteristics are important, choosing parents that show these characteristics, selecting the best offspring from parents to breed the next generation, and repeating the process continuously.
Why classify?
Classification is the process of grouping different organisms according to their natural characteristics
