Explain why it is incorrect to say that individual organisms evolve?
It is not correct to say that individuals evolved because it is not possible for an individual to change drastically over their own timelife. Species have the faculty to evolve as a whole not as individual organisms.
Which statement is more accurate to scientist the evolution of a single individual organism or the evolution of a whole species?
Single individuals are naturally selected, but populations ( can be whole species ) evolve. Any mutation happening in the germ line of an individual will die with him. Only his progeny can inherit said mutation and evolve. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
Which unit of organism evolves and individual a population or a species?
Evolution occurs at the population level, not at the level of an individual organism or a species. Changes in gene frequencies within a population over time drive the process of evolution.
What is the difference between a population and an individual?
A population is defined as:"A group of individuals of one species that live in a particular geographic area."A community is defined as:"All the organisms that inhabit a particular area; an assemblage of populations of different species living close enough together for potential interaction."The difference being that the population consists of just a signal species, and the community consists of a group of species and their interactions.
Why can't an individual in a population evolve?
Basically it is because they die and any mutations in germ lines, genetic recombinations and any beneficial variations die with them. Only populations evolve because the frequency of alleles in population gene pools change over time due to the selection of individuals who pass on these frequency changing traits to progeny.

What do species become after the last individual in the population dies?
extinct species
Must population of finches be separated in order to evolve into different species?
bye
Do individual or population evolve?
a population adapts over time. an individual cannot adapt during its lifetime. it happens over many generations.
Is unit of evolution species or population?
Population is the unit of evolution. A population is defined as a group of organisms of a particular species that inhabits a particular area. Natural selection acts on traits within that population that are beneficial in the particular area. Another population of the same species may be under different selective pressures (as it is found in a different location), and natural selection may therefore act on different traits within that second population. The two populations, thus, may evolve differently. Therefore, the unit of evolution is the population, not species.
What is made of the individual organisms of the same species?
POPULATION:)
What is made up of individual organisms of the same species?
A population is made up of individual organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time.
Why do new species form?
According to the biological species concept, when the new species no longer can interbreed with the ancestral species, or with the population that it has been geographically isolated from long enough to have allele change significantly enough to prevent interbreeding.
Which unit of organism evolves and individual a population or a species?
Evolution occurs at the population level, not at the level of an individual organism or a species. Changes in gene frequencies within a population over time drive the process of evolution.
What made up of individual organisms of the same species?
POPULATION:)
Why is population the smallest unit of organism that can evolve?
Evolution is defined as a change in allele frequencies over time. Since individuals have only the set of alleles that they're born with, an individual cannot evolve. This leaves the population as the smallest unit that can evolve.
