A species is often defined as a set of organisms that reproduce in nature. If members of the species change so much that they can no longer reproduce with the other members of the species, those members are considered to be a new species. As an example: If a species of birds becomes separated and over time one group's mating dance is two hops to the right and one to the left while the other group's dance is two hops to the left and one to the right. Those two groups will no longer be able to interbreed because the females won't be properly impressed if the dance is performed "wrong".
The smallest biological unit that can evolve over time is an individual organism, typically a unicellular organism like bacteria or archaea. These organisms can undergo genetic mutations and natural selection, leading to the evolution of their populations over generations.
Bacteria would evolve faster than humans due to their shorter generation times and larger population sizes, allowing for quicker adaptation to environmental changes and mutations to occur. Humans have longer generation times and smaller population sizes, slowing down the rate of evolution.
A trait in biology is a specific characteristic or feature of an organism, such as eye color or height. Traits are determined by genes and can influence an organism's physical appearance, behavior, and other attributes. These traits play a crucial role in an organism's survival by affecting its ability to adapt to its environment, find food, avoid predators, and reproduce successfully. Overall, traits contribute to the diversity and fitness of a species, helping them thrive and evolve over time.
An ecosystem.
No, evolution is typically regarded as a slow and gradual change in the genetic makeup of a population over many generations. It is not seen as a rapid change in the characteristics of an individual organism.
all of the organisms can evolve.
evolution
Cats and dogs evolve an adaptation to human activities. Any organism can also evolve to human activities and our environment.
Of course,they are evolving.Every organism is evolving.
Ants were created not evolved.
By the process of natural variation and selection by survival of the fittest.
Nonvascular plants
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.

This is a vague questions because many aspects of evolution takes place in single-celled organism. For a single celled organism to evolve into a multicellular organism this would require cell division. You might know the terms mitosis and meiosis which are processes of cell division. If you question is how they evolve to adapt to the enviornment, this would be natural selection. The strongest of the cell would survive while the weak dies. This would mean only the strongest would reproduce and live which from an outer point of view, the single-celled organism has evolved.
The phenotype or genome of the individual organism. Remember, individuals are selected, populations evolve.
Those that have hard parts that fossilize, are plentiful, ubiquitous and evolve rapidly.
