What role do mutations play in evolution?
They provide the variation in organisms that other recombination methods do not. A beneficial mutation, leading to a small change in same trait, that is even marginally reproductively successful to the organism that possesses it will be selected for and passed on tho progeny thus changing the organisms population over time, regardless of how small the change. This is evolution, change in populations over time.
What is evolution and what does it involve?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms; change over time. This is all that it involves and whether the driver of evolution is natural selection, the adaptive driver of evolution, genetic drift, a random process or gene flow between populations, gene frequencies in these populations change and that is all evolution involves. Now, how evolution occurs with it's various drivers is another question for another time.
How Groups of organisms change over time?
evolve
What is a process through which new species can arise?
Natural selection that leads to a great enough change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, evolution, and helped by environmental changes to create sub-populations of these organisms that can no longer breed among themselves and then are accounted new species.
What is the definetion of evolution?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Change over time.
What is the definition elevution?
Change over time in populations of organisms. Or, more formally; the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
Populations change over time due to the process of?
What happens to a populations alleles as they change one time?
Evolution is the change in the frequency of alleles of a population of organisms over time.
The change in the inherited traits of populations of organisms over time is known as?
It is called genetic drift.
What is natural selection and how does natural selection evolution?
A simplified explanation. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms who by this reproductive success change the allele frequency over time in populations of organisms, which is evolution.
What is the process by which populations change over time?
What must be true for a characteristic to affect evolution?
Evolution is the change of allele frequency in a population of organisms. So, for a characteristic to affect evolution it must be heritable, genetically so, it must be selected for, or be the result of recombination processes and it must be in the germ line where it is passed to future generation of, hopefully, reproductively successful organisms who leave enough decedents to change the allele frequency in the populations gene pool over time.

What is a process in which populations gradually change over time?
Evolution i think
How did the plant populations in the community change over time?
by plants moving
One reason why evolution is true?
Because it is a fact that allele frequencies change over time in populations of organisms. And the theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the fact of evolution very well.
