What best describes how natural selection resulted in the woolly mammoth?
Natural selection led to the evolution of the woolly mammoth through adaptations that enabled it to thrive in the cold environments of the Ice Age. Key traits such as long, thick fur, a layer of fat for insulation, and large tusks for foraging and fighting were favored in their harsh habitat. As individuals with these beneficial traits survived and reproduced, they passed these characteristics to their offspring, solidifying the woolly mammoth's suitability to its environment over generations. This process exemplifies how environmental pressures drive the evolution of species.
What do you call the process that describes ecology impacting genetics?
Natural Selection
What was natural selection based on during the holocaust?
The Holocaust has nothing to do with natural selection, or vice versa. The Holocaust was the result of atrocious crimes committed under the leadership of a few madmen, inspired by a long tradition of antisemitism. Natural selection is a model that describes differential reproductive success in natural populations, under natural circumstances.
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 term describes the process that resulted in the panda's thumb?
The process that resulted in the panda's thumb is known as "evolutionary adaptation." Specifically, it refers to the development of a modified wrist bone that functions similarly to a thumb, allowing giant pandas to grasp bamboo more effectively. This adaptation occurred through natural selection, favoring individuals with traits that enhanced their ability to feed on their primary food source.
What terms describes natural selection that acts against intermediate forms of a polygenic trait to increase genetic variation while not changing the average value of a trait within?
Disruptive selection
What is the mechanism of natural selection based on the observation that animals who are better adapted to thrive in an environment?
This is another statement that describes "survival of the fittest."
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Who is considered to be the father of social darwinism?
Herbert Spencer is often considered the father of social Darwinism. He applied Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection to society, arguing that social progress resulted from the natural selection of the fittest individuals and the survival of the strongest.
Why is DNA used as evidence in natural selection?
Mathematical analysis in genetics and comparative genomics can show scientists to what degree a particular genetic sequence resulted from selection pressures at a given time in the evolutionary history of the organism under consideration.
What is the prefix and suffix of natural selection?
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
