Evolution.
true
No. Evolution explains how and why organisms change over time. It makes no difference to evolution how organisms are generated.
A trait that is beneficial to survival.
Natural selection varies the death rates of individuals in the current generation. As the next generation is born with different traits derived from parents that were survivors of the current generation, the population changes gradually from generation to generation better able to survive longer against the natural selection pressures. Should selection pressures change in the future (and they very likely will) the direction of changes caused by natural selection will also change (with a corresponding but temporary increase in death rates if the change is large and sudden).
YES why wouldn't they
Adaptations
true
Adaptations help organisms to survive and reproduce in their environment by increasing their chances of finding food, avoiding predators, and successfully reproducing. Without adaptations, organisms may not be able to thrive in their specific environment and could become extinct. Adaptations can be physical, behavioral, or physiological changes that improve an organism's chances of survival.
The animal changes to they adaptations, but the adaptations might change because of the animals dieing off so much.
No. Evolution explains how and why organisms change over time. It makes no difference to evolution how organisms are generated.
Natural selection explains adaptive change in the immediate environment.
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.
because of its adaptations to the ocean
because if you can't adapt when your surroundings change you will die.
A trait that is beneficial to survival.
Evolution is and it is whether " modern " or " ancient. " Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Change over time. The theory that explains much about evolution. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms.
Because they are so close to the water that they change.
