What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
What is bacteria passing resistance to a medicine on to offspring an example of?
It is an example of natural selection.
Which postulate of natural selection is best supported by the work of Gregor Mendel?
Traits are passed from parent to offspring.
What is the process by which the best suited individuals survive in their environment?
The answer of that qeustion is natural selection of which animals produce offspring.
What is the formula for natural selection?
There is no single mathematical formula for all of natural selection. Although, if you're interested in mathematical descriptions of natural selection, I can recommend you read a few books on population genetics, such as Principles of Population Genetics, by Hartl and Clark.Natural selection occurs when:- There exists a population of organisms that reproduce with variation.- Variant features are inherited by offspring.- The population produces more offspring than can comfortably subsist within its direct environment.- Variant offspring therefore have to compete with one another for resources and mating opportunities.Simply put: the traits of those variants that are better at producing offspring will have a greater frequency in future generations.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
What is unequal reproductive success of offspring?
Natural selection.
How does natural selection work for or against an organism?
Natural selection reduces the number of fertile offspring an organism may raise.
What is the explanation for the four steps of natural selection?
overproduction: to many offspring and 3 others
How are organisms with certain traits more likely to survive and produce offspring?
Natural selection
What is bacteria passing resistance to a medicine on to offspring an example of?
It is an example of natural selection.
Is inheritance a requirement for natural selection?
Yes it does. Without variance in the organisms genome, that gives variance to the phenotype, there would be nothing for natural selection to select from.
What is the 4 main points of natural selection?
natural selection (4 tenants) -genetic variation -overproduction of offspring -struggle for existence (competition) -differential survival and reproduction
Why are stronger traits passed down to offspring?
So that the offspring have a better chance of survival. these traits are often chosen through natural selection.
The process that discriminates between phenotypes with respect to their ability to produce offspring is known as?
Natural selection
How do stag beetles fit the model for natural selection?
When it comes to natural selection, only the strongest stag beetles survive to reproduce. During reproduction, they pass their genes off to the offspring.
What process would most likely act against any offspring with an allele for cataracts?
natural selection
