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

Evolution by natural selection.


What is the difference between purifying selection and positive selection in the process of natural selection?

Purifying selection removes harmful genetic variations, while positive selection promotes beneficial genetic variations in natural selection.


What is one factor that affects natural selection and artificial selection?

Variation in the organisms under selection. In both artificial selection and natural selection there must be heritable variations that have the possibility of being in the case of artificial selection what the selector wants in the organism and in thje case of natural selection survivability and reproductive advantages.


What are four facts Darwin concluded about natural selection?

Individuals within a population vary in physical and behavioral traits. Some of these variations are heritable. Individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, this process leads to the accumulation of beneficial traits in a population, driving the process of evolution through natural selection.


Why is genetic variation important for natural selection to drive evolution?

Genetic variation is important for natural selection to drive evolution because it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon. Without genetic variation, there would be no diversity in traits for natural selection to favor or eliminate, and evolution would not be possible.

What can you concluded about the theory of evolution from the evidence that you have gathered?

That the theory of evolution by natural selection fits the facts of evolution. The theory of evolution by natural selection is based on myriad lives of converging evidence and is the best explanation we have for the adaptive changes leading to speciation in populations of organisms.
