What else can I help you with?
Charles Darwin proposed a mechanism for descent with modification which stated that organisms of a particular species are adapted to their environment when they possess?
inheritable traits that enhance their survival and reproductive success in the local environment.
What organism did Charles Darwin study?
He mainly studied birds; finches were the main ones he studied.
What were Charles Darwin's accomplishments to Science?
Darwin established the theory of natural selection (evolution). On the Galapagos Islands he was fairly free to walk among animals previously unexposed to humans, thus seeing him as no threat. He observed: (1) more offspring were produced than would survive based on the available resources (food, water, space), (2) the offspring varied in form and had a range of characteristics, (3) the offspring would compete for the available resources. Darwin concluded that the creatures that were best suited to a particular environment would survive long enough to reproduce and pass their characteristics to a new generation. This is evolution. "Survival of the fittest" is actually shortened from the phrase, "survival of the fittest in a particular environment". Individual creatures don't evolve. Species evolve. A species is a group of organisms capable of breeding and producing offspring. Evolution drives the creation of new species. No organism is more or less evolved than another. One organism may be more suited to survive in a particular environment.
What is model organism?
Scientists select model organisms to understand that particular life form, and its interactions with other life forms and with the environment. They choose particular organisms as models, because of the hopefully wider applicability of the scientific findings. Scientists think that what they learn from the particular model organism will help them understand other organisms. The basic idea comes from Charles Darwin's On the origin of Species, and The descent of man. According to that idea, all living organisms track back to the same ancestor, or the same ancestral gene pool. In particular, model organisms are selected, to understand human disease. Often, it is considered unethical to use people to sort out possible causes of and treatments for disease. So, for example, causes of and treatments for cancer have been studied through the use of mice in laboratories.
What is the mechanism that allows organisms to evolve?
1) Natural Selection 2) Climate changes 3) Geographical events 4) Radiations of organism into new habitats 5) Changes in ecosystem 6) Changes in continental position Above are mechanisms of selection, the environment, basically. Mechanisms of evolution are; mutation, gene flow. genetic drift and most importantly for adaptive changes, natural selection
What was the mechanism used to pass traits from generation to generation according to Charles Darwin?
Natural selection
Charles Darwin realized that th measure of success for an organism was not only a long period of survival but also what?
Charles Darwin realized that the measure of success for an organism was not only a long period of survival, but also its ability to reproduce and pass on its genes to the next generation. This concept forms the basis of his theory of natural selection, which emphasizes the importance of reproductive fitness in shaping the evolution of species.
What did Charles Darwin call the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its specific environment?
survvial of the fittest
What did Charles Darwin conclude about successful adaptations?
Charles Darwin concluded that successful adaptations are traits that increase an organism's chances of surviving and reproducing in a given environment. These adaptations allow individuals to better compete for resources and pass on their genes to the next generation, contributing to the process of natural selection.
Charles Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce is its environment?
Charles Darwin referred to this ability as "natural selection." It is the process by which certain traits or characteristics that help an organism survive and reproduce in its environment become more common in a population over time. Natural selection is a key mechanism of evolution.
What is the name for the process where the organism best adapted to their environment to survive?
The process is called natural selection, where organisms that are best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to the next generation.
Charles Darwin observation of overproduction?
Charles Darwin observed that plants and animals reproduce to further their species. While some off spring may not survive, those that do are more suited to be prevailing environment and will pass those characteristics to the next generation.
Who create the first generation computer?
Charles Babbage
What Charles Darwin meant that a certain organism are more fit than other organism in a particular environment?
Darwin's concept of "survival of the fittest" refers to how organisms with traits that are better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these advantageous traits to their offspring. This process leads to the gradual evolution and adaptation of species to their specific environments over time.
Who is the inventor of second generation computers?
Charles Babbage is the inventor of second generation computers.
What famous scientist is known for his landmark studies about evolution and the role an organism's adaptations play in its ability to survive?
Charles Darwin is the famous scientist known for his landmark studies on evolution. He proposed the theory of natural selection, highlighting the role of adaptations in determining an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. Darwin's work revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and shaped the field of evolutionary biology.
When was the first invention of first generation computers?
1822 and was designed by Charles Babbage
