What does natural selection effect?
The individual organism is selected, or the genes that reside in this individual organism.
What is one effect of natural selection?
One effect of natural selection is the adaptation of populations to their environments as individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to their offspring. Over time, this process can lead to the evolution of new species better suited to their specific ecological niche.
Does natural selection have a goal?
No. Just like getting wet is the effect sorted by rain hitting the ground, natural selection is the effect that happens when variant organisms compete for resources. It's not a thing in itself; it's a term for describing how things turn out when certain conditions occur.
Does natural selection require small population size?
No. Natural selection works in all populations. However, new alleles spread more slowly in large populations; the large size has a stabilizing effect. So one should expect large populations to change more slowly than smaller populations.
Is natural selection fast or slow process?
Evolution is the observed effect of natural selection acting on reproductive variation. Natural selection is a continuous process. The rate at which natural selection changes allele frequencies depends on the effect of the allele in the world. If the allele considered provides a significant reproductive benefit when compared to rival alleles, it will spread throughout the population gene pool much faster than the rival alleles.
What is the purpose of natural selecting?
Natural selection is not a purposeful action, but an effect. The process tends to keep living things living no matter how the environment may change. Natural selection eliminates weaker individuals and allows stronger ones to live, producing evolution. For instance, if fish lived in a shady place with dark water, the ones with the darker tones would be able to evade predators allowing them to live. They then would be able to reproduce and pass their genes on, while the ones without darker tones would be eaten and not be able to. That shows natural selection. --- There is no purpose to natural selection. Natural selection is an effect produced by the differential reproductive success of differing variants within a population. This effect often results in adaptation of the population to a particular set of circumstances. This is an automatic result of the simple fact that variants that are better capable of producing and raising offspring will on average have more fertile offspring.
How does natural variation affect evolution?
Natural selection (the driving force of evolution) is the selection of genetic variations by how they effect the organism's chances of survival or reproduction. If they diminish it's chances, the organism or it's immediate offspring die and the gene is gone. If the genetic variations increase it's chances, then it survives. Without genetic variations there can be no evolution. Natural selection is the selection (by environmental pressures) of those variations.
How might natural selection effect moose on isle royale?
The moose on Isle Royale are referred to as "meese", because they resemble mice rather than moose. Natural selection will eventually shrink these moose down and turn them into mice, making the ecosystem of isle royale FUBAR'ed.
What effect does natural selection have on the allele frequency of a population?
In the next generation that trait increases in frequency above the frequency in the current generation.
What effect does natural selection have on the frequency of a recessive lethal allele?
Perhaps not much as the recessive allele is masked in heterozygous condition. Depends on penetration and expresivity of the lethal allele, but any homozygous expression is fatal, so one can expect negative frequency selection; the freqiency is kept low by selection.
