Can the bacteria in yogurt evolve over time?
Yes it can. Remember, evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Speciation could be another matter.
What species can evolve from natural selection?
Microevolution is merely evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, and all animals do this all the time.Natural selection is always summing up the variation among a population of organisms and selecting those that show survivability and reproductive advantages, even is the selection does no more that stabilize the organisms phenotypes.Look to the evolutionary history of horses or whales to see clear examples of evolution and selection through time.
How do mutations relate to natural selection?
Mutation, a copying error in the replication of DNA, can give rise to variation in an organisms phenotype and if this new phenotype is beneficial to survival and reproductive success ( as little as 1% ) it will be selected naturally against the immediate environment, then if this so selected organism leave many descendents with the same beneficial traits then the populations gene pool will change in allele frequency and you have evolution. ( a 19th century sentence Darwin would be proud of! )
Why must an adaptation be inheritable if it is to cause a population to evolve?
If an adaptation were non-inheritable it could not cause the population to evolve because it would not be part of the populations gene pool.
How do organs and organ systems evolve and change from simple to more complex organisms?
Through DNA code that tells the cells how to evolve.
The smallest unit that can evolve is a?
Is a population. Consider the definition of evolution.Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
Will cats continue to evolve?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. So, cats will continue to evolve. Organisms evolve, or go extinct. Speciation is another thing.
Describe what is occurring when a population is said to evolve?
The allele frequency of the populations gene pool is changing.
Can the bacteria in yogurt evolve over time?
Yes it can. Remember, evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Speciation could be another matter.
Can populations evolve?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.Short answer, populations are the only thing that evolves. Individuals die. Traits are passed on to progeny that make up the variations in the populations that evolve.
How does evolution affect all living organisms?
By it's definition. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. All living things evolve by this definition.
What does it mean for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
It is a situation where allele frequencies remain constant.
Why is population the smallest unit of organism that can evolve?
Evolution is defined as a change in allele frequencies over time. Since individuals have only the set of alleles that they're born with, an individual cannot evolve. This leaves the population as the smallest unit that can evolve.
What is evolition?
it's where a Pokemon has to have a certain item needs a certain move,needs traded, or has to get to certain lv.(level) to change into a similar form.Some Pokemon can evolve more than once(example: turtwig evolves into grotle and grotle evolves into torrterra)but some Pokemon can't evolve(example:groudon,dialga,and ditto)you can stop an evolution by pressing B while they evolve.Hope I helped:):):):):):)
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.
How do bacteria know when enough of them are being destroyed that it's time to attempt to evolve?
They don't! You misunderstand evolution. Say there is a population of bacteria. All this population varies; one from the other. Say the population is attacked by a antibiotic. Most, but not all bacteria die. Those that survive are different in allele frequency from those that died. So, the descendants of these survivors will have the traits that allowed the progenitors to be reproductively successful in the antibiotic environment. Thus allele frequency in changed over time in a population of organisms. Natural selection leading to evolution.No foresight, no planning, no direction and not progressive; just a natural process where small local rules can give rise to change and complexity.
Why can't an individual in a population evolve?
Basically it is because they die and any mutations in germ lines, genetic recombinations and any beneficial variations die with them. Only populations evolve because the frequency of alleles in population gene pools change over time due to the selection of individuals who pass on these frequency changing traits to progeny.
