Some types of selection pressures that could act on a population of an animal species are searching for food, searching for water, and finding a mate. Other pressure could be avoiding predators and finding shelter.

What is the result of artificial selection?

Artificial selection results in the intentional breeding of plants or animals for specific desired traits. Over time, this can lead to changes in the genetic makeup of a population, resulting in organisms with traits that are favored by humans.

How was the domestication of animals and plants was appiled to the theory of natural selstion?

These plants and animals were subjected to artificial selection so that the traits humans wanted in the organisms were selected for and the organisms not having these traits were culled. This, with some modification, is a good analogue for natural selection and artificial selection shows how organisms can be shaped over time with the proper selective pressures. The selective pressure of humans in artificial selection and the selective pressure of the environment in natural selection.


Is artificial selection an agent of evolutionary change?

NO. Both artificial and natural selection are forms of Evolution in general. Both cause variation by selection within a particular population. The only difference is who is doing the selection, humans or nature.

Which statement about natural selection is true Overproduction of offspring drives environmental changes. Differential reproduction causes environmental changes. Environmental changes determine which?

The statement "Differential reproduction causes environmental changes" is true. Natural selection favors individuals with traits that are better suited for their environment, leading to the differential reproduction of those individuals. Over time, this process can drive changes in a population's genetic makeup in response to environmental pressures.


What are the two names of selection breeding?

The two main types of selective breeding are "natural selection" and "artificial selection." Natural selection occurs when organisms best adapted to their environment survive and reproduce naturally, while artificial selection involves human intervention to breed specific traits in plants or animals. Both methods aim to enhance desirable characteristics within a population.


What events (give at least three) led Charles Darwin to develop his theory?

Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution through natural selection after several key events. First, his voyage on the HMS Beagle (1831-1836) exposed him to diverse species and ecosystems, particularly the Galápagos Islands, where he observed variations among finch species. Second, his study of artificial selection in domesticated animals revealed how selection pressures could lead to significant changes over generations. Lastly, his exposure to the ideas of Thomas Malthus on population growth and competition highlighted the struggle for survival, which influenced his understanding of natural selection.


Why is natural selection important for the animals?

Because all animals that exist have formed, and are being formed and re-formed, continuously, primarily by natural selection.
