Is considered an important factor in natural selection?

Mutation is the important " starter " of the adaptive change engendered by natural selection. Variation is key to selection and without variation in organisms there would be nothing to select from for the survival and reproductive success of the organism against the immediate environment.


All BUT one factor contributes to natural selection That factor is?

Randomness.


What is a factor that controls Natural selection?

the fitest survive


What factor of natural selection causes competition?

Overproduction


Why is time an important factor in the process evolution by natural selection?

Because natural selection only preserves incremental beneficial traits to the organism and many different areas of the organism are undergoing mutation and natural selection at the same time against the backdrop of the immediate environment. If a population of organisms, subject to allele change due to natural selection, is not in a changing environment, or split in a allopatric event, then adaptive change will be very slow, or will not happen at all and selection will winnow those variants and stabilizing selection is taking place. Regression to the mean of phenotype.


What is one factor that affects natural selection and artificial selection?

Variation in the organisms under selection. In both artificial selection and natural selection there must be heritable variations that have the possibility of being in the case of artificial selection what the selector wants in the organism and in thje case of natural selection survivability and reproductive advantages.


Darwin believed that the central factor to organic evolution was?

Natural Selection :)

Natural selection.


Which form of natural selection is most likely to play a role in speciation?

Reproductive isolation through sexual selection is often an important factor in speciation. This type of natural selection can lead to the evolution of reproductive barriers that prevent individuals from different populations from successfully interbreeding, ultimately resulting in the formation of distinct species.


How is genetic diversity important to the concept of natural selection?

Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur


Why is pH an important factor in shampoo selection?

acidic and alkaline


Why is genetic variation important for natural selection to drive evolution?

Genetic variation is important for natural selection to drive evolution because it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon. Without genetic variation, there would be no diversity in traits for natural selection to favor or eliminate, and evolution would not be possible.
