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.
How is natural selection important?
Natural selection is important because it changes the way we cope(live) in our enviornment.
What is a factor that controls Natural selection?
the fitest survive
What factor of natural selection causes competition?
Overproduction
What are 4 factor Darwin's used for his theory of evolution?
Artificial Selection, Sexual Selection and Natural Selection.
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.
Darwin believed that the central factor to organic evolution was?
Natural Selection :)
Darwin belived that the central factor to organic evolution was?
Natural selection.
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.
How is genetic diversity important to the concept of natural selection?
Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
How Is Natural Selection Important To The Process Of Evolution?
Natural selection means survival (and breeding) of the fittest, it is key to the evolutionary process.
