What is the effect of competition on the evolution of the community of organisms?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Competition is the driving factor in the evolution of organisms. The ones who are least fit (have the inferior DNA for surviving) will be outcompeted and will die before reproduction is possible, or will not be able to provide for their offspring. Therefore, their genetic material will be destroyed. Only the strongest organisms (best DNA) will survive, reproduce, and pass on their information. Therefore, a random mutation in one's DNA that causes it to have a beneficial trait that allows it to outcompete other organisms in the community will survive, pass on its DNA and cause the loss of other weaker animals' DNA.

Why are adaptations evidence of evolution?
Because adaptations are an observed effect of evolution. They could not happen if evolution did not occur.
Why would you not expect a fossil buried millions of years ago to look exactly like modern-day organisms?
Nothing sexual reproduces perfectly ... a side effect of evolution. The "fossils" of single celled organisms can look exactly the same, even over a billion years.
What effect did climate change have on the evolution?
Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
True or false The loss of a species from an ecosystem usually has no effect because of the presence of other species in the ecosystem?
Loss of one species from a community has a large effect. This is because this can cause major changes in food webs and chains and can cause other organisms to die.
How does greenhouse effect the organisms that live in the ecosystems?
loffy
Do humans have a effect on the evolution of the organisms on earth?
no
What role do organisms play in their evolution?
Evolution is the effect caused by the interaction of organisms and their environment, organisms and other organisms, organisms and their genes, and so on. The simplest answer to this question is that organisms produce and propagate replications of the alleles they carry: they reproduce.
What are three abiotic parts of a marsh community?
Three abiotic parts of a marsh community would be water, climate, stones, and soil. These all effect the living organisms in the marsh community.
Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?
Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.
What effect does competition have on price and why?
Competition will lower the price of products
Why are adaptations evidence of evolution?
Because adaptations are an observed effect of evolution. They could not happen if evolution did not occur.
How do films effect the wider community?

A random change in a population's allele frequency?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
Why would you not expect a fossil buried millions of years ago to look exactly like modern-day organisms?
Nothing sexual reproduces perfectly ... a side effect of evolution. The "fossils" of single celled organisms can look exactly the same, even over a billion years.
How do beaver ponds help beaver and how do effect the organisms?
it helps them because they could build houses and effects because the community needs tress an plants to breath fresh air
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 genetic change is always a result of evolution?
Evolution is not a cause of genetic change: it is the effect of genetic change.
