This could be anything, from earthquakes to migration to floods to disease, and so on, and so forth. In nature, population sizes naturally fluctuate even without such events, due to changes in the availability of resources, predation, and so on.
mating must happen randomly
For a population to grow, the birth rate must exceed the death rate, there must be enough resources available to support the increase in population, and factors that limit growth such as disease or predation must be controlled.
For natural selection to occur, there must be genetic variation present in a population, some of which is heritable. This variation must lead to differences in survival and reproduction (differential fitness). Individuals with advantageous traits must pass those traits on to their offspring. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population.
Individuals with the beneficial trait must survive and reproduce at a higher rate than those without the trait. This differential reproductive success leads to an increase in the frequency of the advantageous trait in the population over time, allowing for evolution to occur.
The condition necessary for genetic drift to have a significant effect on a population is when the population size is small. In smaller populations, genetic drift can lead to random changes in allele frequencies, impacting the overall genetic diversity of the population.
For a spontaneous process to occur, the conditions must involve an increase in entropy and a decrease in free energy.
A population must be isolated in some way
mating must happen randomly
A genetic mutation within the population.
No disruptive circumstances must be present in random mating in a population for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur. Mating must happen randomly. No allele can give an advantage
The population of zoo plankton would decrease.
A decrease in the birth rate will cause a decrease in population over time.
For a population to grow, the birth rate must exceed the death rate, there must be enough resources available to support the increase in population, and factors that limit growth such as disease or predation must be controlled.
natural selection or genetic drift
Death and migration are factors that can decrease hare population.
Atrophy will occur, and muscles will decrease
Mutation cannot occur. Apex
