What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
How can a wide range of phenotypes increase the chance that some individuals will survive in a changing environment?
by natural selection.
Does natural selection occur in the world today?
Yes, natural selection is always occurring.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
Which does natural selection affect populations or individuals?
Populations evolve, but individuals are selected. Natural selection affects individual organisms.
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.
What is it called when the environment affects which organisms will live or die?
Probably natural selection. The environment is the selector of organisms.
What role do alleles play in natural selection?
Genes are the medium by which inherited traits are passed on to offspring. It is inherited traits, and thus genes, that receive positive or negative selection.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Which cells are influenced by natural selection?
In one way or another, all of them. However, we generally don't speak of natural selection in terms of how it affects cells (except perhaps germline cells), but in terms of how it affects populations, lineages or allele frequencies in gene pools. In population genetics, cells are merely the containers for collections of genes, and the machines that express those genes.
Why are not Americans affected with sickle cell anaemia?
natural selection and heredity Americans are affected with sickle cell anaemia which mostly affects black people.
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Is natural selection a form of adaptation?
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
