Who was the first person to trace the characteristics of successive generations of a living thing?
gregor mendel
What term defines a process by which favorable traits of an organism become more common in successive generations and unfavorable traits become less common?
This is called Natural Selection or selective breeding.
What is precursor activation of series reaction?
process in which initial substrate sends signals to activate the enzyme of successive step is known as precursor activation
Define biological magnification and explain why humans are often more severely affected?
Biological magnification: the process by which pollutants become more concentrated in successive trophic levels of a food web (accumulation of pollutants in fatty tissues of a predator) Humans are often more severely affected than earlier trophic levels due to biological magnification. The ppm (parts per million) is the unit of measurement for concentration of chemicals like pollutants and augment to a degenerative degree in higher trophic levels. Humans are consumers and higher in the food web, thus subject to the malicious effects of biological magnification of toxins.
Is hydra a monogenetic parasite?
yes!! monogenesis:- 1. The theory that all living organisms are descended from a single cell or organism. 2. The production of similar organisms in successive generations. 3. Asexual reproduction, as by sporulation or parthenogenesis. 4. The process of parasitizing a single host, in or on which the entire life cycle of the parasite is passed.
What is genetic evolution?
Genetic evolution refers to the variations in inherited traits of biological populations over successive generations. It is also referred to as the selfish gene theory.
Who is the first person to trace the characteristics of successive generations of living things?
Gregor Mendel

A small population randomly changes in traits over successive generations is called?
Genetic drift.
What type of isotope was used to follow the construction of new DNA molecules during successive generations?
nitrogen
Is it common for boys and men to stop growing at the height of 5'1?
It rather depends on your genetic make-up ! If there is a genetic link though previous generations, of shortened height in males, then chances are, it will continue through successive generations.
How do fins turn into legs?
Natural selection will alter a living organism over successive generations according to its requirements regarding habitat, food and breeding.
What is acquired adaptations?
Morphological or physiological change to a plant or plants during their lifetime, usually is a response to disturbance or stress. These changes are not passed on to successive generations.
Which term defines a process by which favorable traits of an organism become more common in successive generations and unfavorable traits become less common?
greywind and cree are awesome!! ;)
How long does it take for natural selection to work?
"Natural selection is the process by which heritable traits that make it more likely for an organism to survive and successfully reproduce become more common in a population over successive generations. It is a key mechanism of evolution." - Wikipedia.orgThey key words in this statement in which describe Natural Selection is: Successive Generations. Meaning more than one, or even a few generations. Therefor your time in which an evolutionary trait takes to develop depends on two main factors: The type of Organism that you are studying, and the environment in which it lives. If there are less "X" factors then the Organism will be able to advance much more quickly.
What is a sentence that gives the meaning of the word pioneer?
The Native Americans in the West resented the influx of pioneer families onto their lands. Mendel compared successive generations of plants, and was a pioneer in the field of genetic research.
What term defines a process by which favorable traits of an organism become more common in successive generations and unfavorable traits become less common?
This is called Natural Selection or selective breeding.
