Is evolution a natural selection?
Natural selection explains the process of evolution: evolution by natural selection. It basically means that species with the highest fitness (survival rate) will live, and be selected by nature for the characteristics they possess that make them more apt to survive. Because of natural selection, evolution occurs.
When two extreme phenotypes are selected in natural selection the intermediate phenotypes become?
The intermediate phenotypes tend to be selected against, resulting in stabilizing selection that favors the extreme phenotypes. This can lead to a reduction in genetic variation within the population, as individuals with intermediate traits are less likely to survive and reproduce.
What is A description of what a selection pressure is what selected for means and what selected against means?
Selection pressure is the environmental force that influences which individuals within a population are more likely to survive and reproduce. "Selected for" means traits that increase an organism's likelihood of survival and reproduction, while "selected against" means traits that decrease an organism's likelihood of survival and reproduction.
What does natural selection eliminate from populations?
Natural selection is a term that, if you stated it fully, would say something like "The fittest individuals are naturally selected for reproduction." Unfit organisms do not survive to reproduce and pass on their genes.
Does an animal's environment affect or does it not affect its adaptation?
This is the fundamental premise of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection; the environment has a fundamental impact on the adaptations and evolution of organisms. The environment "selects" for those specimens that survive to have more offspring. Those animals that cannot survive are selected against.
What process selects against populations that are not fit to survive in their environment?
No process. The selection process selects variant individuals against the immediate environment. You seem to be talking about group selection which is not established biological consensus. Individuals are selected while populations evolve. Natural selection is for individuals and you need to get this concept down correctly. PS: Where do you people get these ill posed questions? Teachers?
Why is natural selection also called differential selection or differential survival?
Because all organisms vary and different one have different survival characteristics that are selected for. Some organisms are reproductively successful and are selected to survive and pass on this success to their progeny.
How is natural variations used in artificial selection?
Natural variation in artificial selection is used because humans choose from among the naturally occurring variation s in species. Natural selection is related to species fitness because Darwin called natural selection survival of the fittest because those that could survive would carry their species on there for being the naturally selected.

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.
The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce is called?
natural selection
How did artificial selection influence Darwins theory of natural selection?
Artificial selection demonstrated that desirable traits could be purposefully selected and passed down in domesticated plants and animals. This helped Darwin understand that similar processes could occur in nature through natural selection, where organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. This supported his theory of evolution by natural selection.
