It doesn't. Phenotypes are viable or not in a given environment, and this influences whether the corresponding genotypes get passed on. Selection works on genotypes via the effects of their expression, their phenotype.

The answer you may be looking for is that phenotypes maladapted to their environment have less babies, and pass on less copies of their genes. "Natural selection" is the whole process over generations. "Selection" may refer to misadapted bodies/phenotypes reproducing less due to illness, hunger, bad quality territories, dying earlier, etc.

Organisms stay the same due to evolution natural selection and artificial selection. true or false?

False. Organisms change over time due to evolution, which is driven by natural selection (survival of the fittest) and artificial selection (human intervention). This process leads to the adaptation and diversification of species.


Selective breeding as practiced by farmers is also called natural selectiontrue or false?

False. Selective breeding, practiced by farmers, involves intentionally choosing specific individuals with desired traits for breeding purposes. Natural selection, on the other hand, refers to the process by which organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, leading to evolutionary changes over time.


According to natural selection physical adaptations that aid an organism chances of survial will be passed on to offspring true or false?

True. Natural selection favors physical adaptations that improve an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, increasing the likelihood that those traits will be passed on to future generations. This process leads to the accumulation of advantageous traits in a population over time.


Why evolution is a false theory?

Being a theory, evolution (or rather "natural selection") is neither "true" nor "false". A theory is put forward as a possible explanation for a phenomenon that can be observed but not easily explained. There are many "facts" that are offered as evidence of "natural selection" being a good explanation for the huge variety of life on Earth and for the fact that, undoubtedly, species appeared and disappeared over the course of many millions of years, but not everyone is convinced by such "facts". There are other, alternative theories, such as creationism, lamarkism, or even extra-terrestrial intervention, but I'm afraid they're even less convincing than natural selection.


A single-alternative selection structure always contains an Else clause?

False. A single-alternative selection structure does not contain an Else clause. It only executes the code block associated with the condition if the condition is met, without providing an alternative path of execution.

Evolution and natural selection stop if groups of a species are isolated from each other... true or false?

False. Isolation promotes natural selection of the unique mutations and recombinations in an isolated population, thus leading to evolution.

Are changes in allelic frequency driven by natural selection?

Changes in allelic frequency can be driven by a variety of factors, including natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation. Natural selection is a process where certain alleles provide a fitness advantage in a specific environment, leading to their increase in frequency over time. However, the relative contribution of natural selection to changes in allelic frequency can vary depending on the specific circumstances.


Does asexual reproduction increase the chances of natural selection?

No, asexual reproduction does not necessarily increase the chances of natural selection. Sexual reproduction introduces genetic variation through meiosis and recombination, which can provide a wider range of traits for natural selection to act upon.
