What does evolution mean scientifically?
In the science, evolution means change over time. These changes are selected by the environment. What genes (traits) that will allow a species to survive will be passed on to the next generations.
Which process causes behavior patterns to change over generations as a result of reproductive success?
Change through natural selection
Natural selection results in change over time by acting on traits that are?
inheritable
What is genetic evolution?
Genetic evolution refers to the variations in inherited traits of biological populations over successive generations. It is also referred to as the selfish gene theory.
What is the definiton of '' selective breeding''?
Selective breeding is where you breed animals or plants in such a way as to increase the desirable traits, or characteristics. By specifically selecting breeding partners with high levels of these desirable traits, the likelihood of the offspring having these traits increases. Over several generations, these desirable traits become more and more profound. For example, if farmers take only the best sheep for breeding, then they can be more assured that future generations of sheep will have the same or even improved characteristics. Selective breeding also works in a similar way when developing new crops, or the breeding of dogs for example. Its all about human intervention, where the breeding partners are chosen (or selected) by people.
Which term describes the change in what traits are inherited over many generations leading to development of a new species?
evolution
List some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations?
Some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations would be climate and water. Water can cause animals to create gills and climate can change the outside of organisms.
What is a sentence using the word replication?
The replication of Latin scrolls was widely done in monasteries. The replication of various traits over several generations is studied in genetics.
In biology evolution means what?
Evolution in Biology terms means a change in a species over a long period of time. It can take several generations for a characteristic in a species to change.
What does evolution mean scientifically?
In the science, evolution means change over time. These changes are selected by the environment. What genes (traits) that will allow a species to survive will be passed on to the next generations.
A small population randomly changes in traits over successive generations is called?
Genetic drift.
What term is used to describe organisms that pass the same the form of traits over generations?
True breeding is used to describe organisms that pass the same form of a trait over many generations.
Chart that traces a genetic characteristics over several generations?
Cladogram?
Shows the inheritance of a particular trait over several generations?
Pedigrees
What are some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations?
fires, height of mountains, volcanic eruptions, and periodic flooding of rivers
What is the process of biological change over generations?
It is called "evolution".
A record which traces the inheritance of a trait over several generations is called what?
monosomy
