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.
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of?
Natural variation, natural selection, artificial selection, genetic engineering, etc.
Explain the difference between artificial and natural selection?
Artificial selection is anthropogenic -- humans interfere with nature to determine what traits get passed on, whereas natural selection is when through sexual reproduction the traits passed on are determined by survival of the fittest.
Why are cattle bred by artificial selection?
They are not. Cattle (cows and heifers) are bred either via artificial insemination, or natural breeding.
When farmers select the largest hogs the fastest horses or the cows that produce the most milk for breeding is called?
This is called selective breeding or artificial selection, opposed to natural 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
When dairy farmer chooses to breed the cows that give the most milk in the herd the farmer are following the principle of?
When a dairy farmer chooses which cows to breed based upon milk production, he is taking advantage of natural selection.
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
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.
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
