He applied it by figuring out that some species died because they overpopulated and didn't have enough resources to sustain life.

How is natural selection and evolution linked?

Natural selection is the process by which certain traits that provide a reproductive advantage become more common in a population over time, leading to evolutionary change. Evolution is the overall change in a population's genetic makeup over successive generations, driven by mechanisms such as natural selection. In essence, natural selection is one of the primary mechanisms through which evolution occurs.


What relies upon evolution by natural selection?

it relies upon the population


Which is more likely to be true natural selection or evolution?

Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.


What can the theory of evolution by natural selection explain about a population?

How it can change in response to its enviroment


Is natural selection a cause of evolution?

No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.


Which force of evolution makes a population more alike?

Stabilizing selection occurs when the extreme forms of some trait are selected against by natural selection. It is a force of natural selection which causes evolution (definition: change of allele frequency in a population divided by time).


What are the two theories for which Charles Darwin is known A.Evolution and natural selection B.Psychoanalysis and the unconscious C.Evolution and socialism D.Natural selection and psychoanalysis?

A. Evolution and natural selection. Charles Darwin is primarily known for his theories on evolution, which explains how species change over time, and natural selection, which is the process by which advantageous traits become more common in a population.


Can natural selection exist with out evolution?

Perhaps not, but evolution can exist without natural selection.


What is another word for Darwin's theory of natural selection?

Evolution by natural selection.


What is the relationship between evolution and natural selection?

Evolution is the process of change in species over time, while natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution occurs. Natural selection acts on genetic variation within a population, favoring traits that increase an individual's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population, leading to evolutionary change.


Evolution by natural selection works best on populatin having no variation?

Evolution by natural selection actually relies on variation within a population. Without variation, there would be no genetic differences for natural selection to act upon, leading to no evolution. Variation provides the raw material for natural selection to work with, allowing beneficial traits to be favored and passed on to future generations.


Darwin's theory of evolution by natural?
