What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
Which is more likely to be true natural selection or evolution?
Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
How can a wide range of phenotypes increase the chance that some individuals will survive in a changing environment?
by natural selection.
Is eviromenntal changes drive reprodution a natural selection?
Environment IS natural selection, so a change in environment is a change in selection pressure.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
What is the application of natural selection theory to human society?
Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
Who is the scientist that collected so much information to support natural selection in 1809?
Charles Darwin, the creator of the theory of natural selection, was born 1809.
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Which is more likely to be true natural selection or evolution?
Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.
How does the theory of punctuated equilibrium differ from natural selection?
They describe different things, so they cannot really be compared. Natural selection is the mechanism that gives direction to evolution. Punctuated equilibria is a model for the varying rates of adaptation caused by natural selection.
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Is natural selection a form of adaptation?
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
