Why is competition important in terms of evolution?
Competition is important in evolution because it drives the process of natural selection. Organisms with traits that provide an advantage in competing for resources are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those advantageous traits to their offspring. This leads to the gradual evolution of species over time.
What are that two terms that Charles Darwin came up with to describe evolution?
Charles Darwin coined the terms "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest" to describe the process of evolution by which species adapt to their environment over time.
What type of evolution with small scale changes in genes is called?
Some would call that microevolution. I would not. Some divide evolution into micro and macro. Evolutionary biologists prefer to use the terms evolution and speciation.
What are the criteria of success in terms of evolution by natural selection?
Success in terms of evolution by natural selection is typically measured by an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. Traits that enhance an organism's chances of survival and reproduction are favored by natural selection, leading to their increased frequency in a population over generations. Ultimately, success in evolution is defined by passing on genetic material to future generations.
What are the main characteristics used to differentiate between the angiosperms and gymnosperms?
Angiosperms are characterized by enclosed seeds within a fruit, while gymnosperms have exposed seeds on the surface of scales or cones. Angiosperms have flowers for reproduction, while gymnosperms have cones. Additionally, angiosperms have vessels in their xylem, while gymnosperms have tracheids. These are the main characteristics used to differentiate between angiosperms and gymnosperms.
Why do most flowers have Bitter taste which terms off other animals?
Most flowers seek to attract pollinating insects for cross-fertilisation. They do not want their flowers to be eaten before setting seeds for future off-spring.
Where do plants sequester secondary chemicals in the highest concentrations?
(a)where the return, in terms of fitness, would be greatest (reproductive structures) (b) Examples: i)cannabinol in marijuana flowers and seeds ii) pyretherins in daisy flowers iii) cyanogens in rose family (apple, peach, almond) seeds.

What are matter terms of flowers?
Smell
What are plants reproduced by seeds called?
in broad terms they are spermatophyte's
What terms describes grouping of organisms based on evolution and DNA?
phylogeny
What is Darwinian evolution?
Darwinian evolution is descent with modification and natural selection, or, in other terms, reproductive variation and differential reproductive success.
What terms refers to useless organs supposedly left from evolution?
Vestigial organs is the term referring to useless organs left from evolution.
What are that two terms that Charles Darwin came up with to describe evolution?
Charles Darwin coined the terms "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest" to describe the process of evolution by which species adapt to their environment over time.
What is is micro evolution?
Micro-evolution is technically defined as evolution within a species, anything up to speciation without actual speciation. Macro-evolution is all evolution starting with speciation. It is important to note that these terms do not refer to different processes: they describe the same process, evolution. The only difference is an arbitrary line drawn by humans, like the line drawn between a walk around the block and a cross-county hike: they both refer to the process of walking; the only real difference is distance.
What is the relationship between hummingbirds and bees in terms of pollination and their impact on the ecosystem?
Hummingbirds and bees both play important roles in pollination. Hummingbirds are attracted to brightly colored, tubular flowers, while bees are drawn to a variety of flowers. Both creatures transfer pollen from one flower to another, aiding in plant reproduction. This process is crucial for the ecosystem as it helps in the production of fruits, seeds, and new plants. The presence of both hummingbirds and bees contributes to biodiversity and the overall health of the ecosystem.
Femal pote what do you call them?
Female potato plants are typically referred to as "female" or "seed" potatoes when discussing their reproductive role in growing new plants. In botanical terms, the flowers that develop on these plants can also be referred to as female flowers if they produce seeds. However, in common gardening terminology, people usually just call them potato plants without distinguishing gender.
