genes and the environment
A mutation does not affect an organism trait for a reason. It is neutral which depends on the environment.
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
Humans affect artificial selection by selectively breeding organisms with desirable traits, leading to changes in their genetic makeup over generations. By controlling the mating of organisms, humans can accelerate the process of evolution to develop specific characteristics in plants, animals, and other organisms. This process has been used in agriculture, animal husbandry, and even in pets to produce desired traits.
purposely mating organisms with desired traits
A organism with traits that are suited to a certain environment have a better chance of surviving than organisms who's traits are not suited for the environment.
Three factors that affect an organism's traits are genetics (inherited DNA), environmental conditions (such as temperature or availability of resources), and interactions with other organisms (such as competition or symbiosis).
No, a frog is not an example of natural selection itself. Natural selection is a mechanism for evolution that acts on populations of organisms over generations, influencing the traits that are passed on to the next generation. Individual organisms like a frog can be impacted by natural selection, depending on their traits and how those traits affect their survival and reproduction.
Common character traits of organisms include adaptability, resilience, reproduction, growth, and organization. These traits allow organisms to survive and thrive in their environments, ensuring the continuation of their species.
Traits are controlled by the genes of the parents.
You can get your traits from older generations and you can also get your traits from non-living organisms, too.
