Natural selection allows a species to change in response to its environment. What is the process by which a species becomes better suited to its environment called?
Adaptation (I'm studying the same thing ;)
What is a definition for the word adaptation?
A change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. or A movie, television drama, or stage play that has been adapted from a written work, typically a novel.
What is adaptation in biology?
In bio, adaptation usually refers to an evolutionary change an organism has made to better suit its environment. This change is a process and usually takes thousands of years. Evolutionary adaptation is not to be confused with acclimation, which is when an organism simply gets used to its environment during its lifetime and makes no evolutionary changes.
The process by which invadals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than oter members of the same species is called?
natural selection
How does genetic diversity allow a species to better survive in a changing environment?
i do not now
When a species becomes better adapted to life on land what is the effect on their populations?
The population increases.
What best describes how a species changes over time?
Natural selection causes those organisms that are better suited to survive and reproduce to pass on their genes to future generations, causing their children to be better suited to their environment as well. Over time, these traits that have been selected by natural selection will result in an overall change in a species.
What is the natural process favoring organisms that are better adapted to their environment?
natural selection.
By what process individuals better adapted to the environment survive and reproduce?
Natural Selection
What are animal adaptaions?
Adaptation is the process whereby a population becomes better suited to its habitat.
This process produces offspring that are better able to cope with changes in the environment?
asexual reproduction
How do organisms respond to the environment?
The process is called "natural selection" and is the basis of Charles Darwin's studies on evolution. Animals or plants which are better adapted for the conditions they live in (someone is always better than someone else) tend to survive longer and have more offspring. In turn (because the traits are passed on) these offspring can do as well or better than the parents in that environment and so the population becomes progressively more adapted to the conditions.
