What genetic traits make organisms more likely to survive and reproduce in a particular environment?

Mostly its just the environment they are in to estimate what genetic traits they have that will help them survive and reproduce in their habitat.

In order to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate genetic variation in a population which of the following conditions must exist in the population?
All organisms must reproduce.
What will happen if all organisms reproduce asexually?
Everyone will be exactly the same as their parent. Organisms that reproduce asexually, cells for example, create a genetic copy of themselves. Where as organisms that reproduce sexually, humans for example, get their genes from both parents and end up being a unique combination of their parents.
What does biologically fit organisms mean?
the organisms can effectively survive and reproduce to make sure that its genetic traits are passed on. Those that aren't biologically fit are not able to reproduce effectively and eventually their genes pass out of the gene pool.
What are the life functions carried by living things?
Living organisms are all carbon-based and they have the ability to reproduce themselves, to mutate, to grow, achieve homeostasis, contain genetic information, respond to the environment, and to acquire energy. They also possess cells.
What are the 8 traits of all living things?
1. Made of cells 2. Adapt and Respond to environment 3. Homeostasis or Internal Balance 4. Based on genetic code- DNA or RNA 5. Evolution- all organisms evolve over time 6. Consume energy 7. All organisms reproduce 8. All organisms grow and develop
What is essnetial to evolution?
Genetic and morphological variation. Without variation in organisms there would only be the shifts of genetic drift and gene flow in organisms. When organusms are varied then one can be selected from the other by the environment and the organisms ability to reproduce against that environment. Then there is evolution.
What is a characteristic that improves a individuals ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment?
having genetic variation among most of its members
The highest rate of natural selection would probably occur when?
This would occur when organisms showing many genetic differences caused by mutations and genetic recombination reproduce in a changing environment.
What are the common features of organisms?
1. Have Cells 2. Use Energy 3. Respond to their environment 4. Grow 5. Reproduce 6. Genetic material
In order to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate genetic variation in a population which of the following conditions must exist in the population?
All organisms must reproduce.
How does one know when a particular species adapted to their environment?
Because said species will survive and reproduce at a rate that keeps the population numbers sufficiently high for good genetic variability.
The individual features of all organisms are the result of?
The individual features of all organisms are the result of their genetic makeup, which includes genes inherited from their parents as well as any mutations that may have occurred. These genes determine an organism's traits, such as its physical appearance, behavior, and physiological processes. Environmental factors can also play a role in influencing the expression of certain traits.
What is genetic transformation of an organism?
Single-cell organisms are linked to genetic transformation, they acquires new genetic material from the environment
What level would have two organisms with the same genetic code who can mate and reproduce more of the same?
genus
Increased genetic variation often helps organisms withstand changes in the?
Environment
What will happen if all organisms reproduce asexually?
Everyone will be exactly the same as their parent. Organisms that reproduce asexually, cells for example, create a genetic copy of themselves. Where as organisms that reproduce sexually, humans for example, get their genes from both parents and end up being a unique combination of their parents.
Why did god make two sexes not one?
God didn't make two sexes. There are 2 sexes to increase genetic diversity. Organisms that reproduce asexually (having only one sex) are not as diverse and are therefore less able to adapt to their environment and thus reproduce continuing their species.
