Which combination of characteristics in a poplulation would provide the greatest potential for evolutionary change?

The characteristic of a population that would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population would be asexual reproduction. This is because the offspring are identical to the parent.

How has the evolution theory benefited society?
Knowledge of the ancestry, the evolutionary history of organisms is useful in helping find associations between genetic sequences and phenotypical expressions, which in turn is useful in finding treatments for both inherited conditions and acquired diseases.Knowledge of the processes by which evolution proceeds is also useful in determining how pests are likely to react to the introduction of pesticides, how anti-biotics will affect the development of infectious agents, and so on. In this manner, knowledge of evolutionary processes benefits both medicine and agriculture.A fairly new field that has potential uses is the field of evolutionary psychology, which allows psychologists to model human behaviour in terms of evolved predispositions. This might help predict how large groups of people are likely to respond to anything from political shifts to advertisement campaigns.These are just a few examples of how our understanding of evolution and our evolutionary past can help people and society.
What is water potential gradient?
similar to potential energy, water flows down a gradient from higher potential to lower potential. Higher potential is generally in the soil/roots and lower potential is at the leaves/atmosphere. The water has potential to flow down the gradient
What is synaptic potential?
synaptic potential
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called?
This is called action potential. Action potential is the change in electrical potential that occurs between the inside and outside of a nerve or muscle fiber when it is stimulated, serving to transmit nerve signals.
Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is associated with what?
An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is a kind of synaptic potential that makes a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.
What characteristics of a population would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population?
Asexual reproduction and few mutations
Which characteristics of a populations would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population?
A large population size, low mutation rate, absence of selection pressure, and high gene flow between populations would indicate lower potential for evolutionary change as these factors can limit the introduction of new genetic variation and the accumulation of evolutionary adaptations.
What evolutionary stage a star become a dwarf?
after the star dies it has the potential to become a dwarf
Characteristics of motion?
potential movement
What are characteristics of speed?
potential and kinetic energy
What organelles are used in investigating evolutionary relationships?
Mitochondria and ribosomes are the organelles useful in investigating potential evolutionary relationships. For example, mitochondria can be used to determine relatedness between individuals and species.
What are some characteristics of speed?
potential and kinetic energy
What are characteristics of potential energy?
They are only possesed when a body is at rest
What if your potential is the complex set of characteristics that makes you unique?
personality
What is the potential to interbreed in the evolutionary species concept?
Means a species always has that potential to breed, one with another. Still, different populations of that species may be too geographically divided to actually interbreed.
What is phenotypic ratio?
It is the ratio of physical characteristics of parents and the potential offspring traits. It is the ratio of physical characteristics of parents and the potential offspring traits.
What is the value of wildlife?
There is no intrinsic value to wildlife outside of its potential for evolutionary growth. Value tends to be a subjective label placed by beings and entities.
