having genetic variation among most of its members
The answer of that qeustion is natural selection of which animals produce offspring.
The ability to survive and reproduce
1. There is variation in individuals within a species 2. Variation ensures that individuals that are better suited to their environment will survive. 3. Traits that assist individuals in survival and allow them to reprduce gradually spread throughout population. 4. Individuals produce more offspring than the local resources can support.
Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment fitness.
having genetic variation among most of its members
Fitness is a term that is used to measure the ability to survive and produce the most offspring.
the unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce
the unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce
th ability to survive and produce fertile offspring
The answer of that qeustion is natural selection of which animals produce offspring.
fitness
The ability to survive and reproduce
natural selection
1. Overproduction - more offspring are born than survive 2. Genetic Variation - there is variation in the population 3. Struggle to Survive - organisms with suitable variations will survive and reproduce 4. Differential Reproduction - suitable variations are passed on to offspring
Organisms need an adaptation to improve their ability to survive. For example, a virus 'evolves' (adapts) to flu immunizations, so every year world health organizations such as the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) must analyze viruses to identify the strain and any adaptations it made. Then, they develop a new vaccine for that year.
