What are some reasons why some organisms might be likely to survive more than others?
In a population of organisms all are variations and all are in the same immediate environment. Let's assume that this environment is a desert. Now, members of the population that are able to conserve scarce resources, such as water, better than other members of this population will have higher survivability and reproductive success than the other organisms of the population. This process will confer this trait on their descendents who will be of greater representation in the population leading to the evolution, the change in allele frequency over time, in this population. Remember, it is not enough to survive, but one must couple that with reproductive success.
Why variations are important to understanding change in a population over time?
you guys should put an answer place i need it for my homework
If a trait made an organism less likely to survive and reproduce what would happen to the allele for the trait?
The allele would not be passed on to further generations, as the organism cannot reproduce. There would be a smaller population of that organism who's genetic code does not contain the allele for that particular trait.
What is most likely a culture trait?
m
Are the dominant traits always the most common in a population?
it is because that trait is more dominant. when a dominant and a recessive trait combine it is most likely that hte dominant trait will be expressed. it is only when a recessive trait combines with an another recassive trait that hte trait gets expressed(which is rare and not so commonly occuring)
A variety of a trait improves an organism's survival enabling it to produce more offspring than other members of the population then the trait is said to be what?
it is said to be fit
What is Darwin's great idea?
Survival of the fittest, the idea that if something has a favorable trait, it is more likely to survive and reproduce and pass on that trait. It is the basis of the modern evolution theory
What show is that most members of a population have similar values for a given measurable trait?
A bell curve
Natural selection will never favor those members of a population that have an extreme variation of a trait?
False my friend
What describes adaptations?
A trait that is beneficial to survival.
What is known as adaptation?
A trait that is beneficial to survival.

The population of Le Trait is 5,292.

What is the central force in evolution?
There is no central force, except that anything which does not hinder a gene's chance of reproducing will allow whatever species that gene belongs to live on. If a trait helps a species to survive, that trait will be "selected". Look at it this way, if a particular trait means that some members of a species is less likely to breed than other members, that trait will die out eventually. This could mean that lions which have shorter claws than their fellows, or cheetahs which can't run as fast as their fellows will go hungry, and be less successful in having and rearing cubs which carry their genes. That is not so much a force driving evolution as a force culling those members of a species which are "less fit" for survival than their fellows
