Does an individual a population or a species evolve?
Populations evolve.
A group of organisms that changes over time is said to?
This describes the process of evolution. When organisms evolve, they change over time in a way adaptive to their current environment.
What is a pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other?
COevolution
Why do new species form on new islands?
they evolve to fill new niches
What is the advantage of an adaptation to a species?
So the species can reproduce and survive.WRONG!!Adaptions are of no use to a species as adaptions are the result of adaptive change which is the purview of natural selection and only INDIVIDUALS are selected. The adaptions of individuals help them to survive and, more importantly, have reproductive success over conspecifics in the immediate environment.Then alleles are changed over time in the population and evolution occurs, but the adaption is an individual process that leads to wide allele change and progeny having the adaption.Remember, individuals are selected while populations evolve.
What is divergent evolution in whch ancestral species evolve into an array of species to fit a number of diverse habitats?
Adaptive radiation.
A small group of rodents have arrived on an island in the Pacific Ocean where no rodents are naturally found This small group may rapidly evolve into several different sub-species to take advantage o?
Adaptive Radiation
What causes mutations?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking
What's the name when a species evolve into many groups of species during?
evolution.
What is the type of evolution by which organisms evolve differences when they are isolated in different environments?
Allopatric speciation.Allopactric speciation. Geographic isolation. Adaptive radiation can also result from geographic isolation.
What is it called when two very different species evolve to look like each other?
Convergent evolution may be the words you seek. This often happens when different species have to adapt to a similar environment. An example would be the similar body shape, and the shape of appendages; of both fish and of marine mammals.
What is convergent adaptation?
Adaptive convergence is a form of evolution in which two unrelated (or distantly related) species evolve very similar forms due to similar selective pressures.
What era did many species evolve?
Animals have always evolved, but high radiation after the crusteacious period were high enough to speed it up.
What theory proposes species evolve during short periods of rapid change?
Punctuated equilibrium See link below.
What theory that species evolve during short periods of rapid change?
punctuated equilibrium
What theory proposes that species evolve during short periods of rapid change?
punctuated equilibrium
Who believed that species evolve by keeping traits that their parents developed during their lives?
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
