Natural selection allows a species to change in response to its environment. What is the process by which a species becomes better suited to its environment called?
Adaptation (I'm studying the same thing ;)
How is natural selection used in artificial selection?
Natural variation in artificial selection is used because humans choose from among the naturally occurring variation s in species. Natural selection is related to species fitness because Darwin called natural selection survival of the fittest because those that could survive would carry their species on there for being the naturally selected.
In evolution survival of the fittest refers to?
In evolution, natural selection is often called survival of the fittest.
Is the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources called the natural selection?
The selection of the organism that survives best in a habitat with limited resources and that organisms superior reproductive success is called natural selection.
Which type of natural selection in which the mean characteristics of a population are preserved?
This type of natural selection is called stabilizing selection because the mean traits of the population are being selected for against the immediate environment.

What is the process by which a species becomes better suited to its environment called?
Sometimes this is called natural selection.
The characteristics that give an organism an advantage in a given environment are called?
Adaptation hahahahhaahhaa suxckerrss idkkk hehehehehhe:)
Idea that species can gradually adapt to their environment is called idea that species can gradually adapt to their environment is called?
natural selection

The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce is called?
natural selection
What is the most common name for natural selection?
Natural selection is often (and misleadingly) called 'survival of the fittest'.
Is it called natural selection when the better adapted members of a population reproduce to a greater degree than the less well adapted members?
Yes, that is more or less what we call natural selection. Although we usually speak of the adaptation of entire populations, not individuals - and a population has adapted if its average fitness (reproductive rates) has reached some optimal value, which means that natural selection has already acted. So it would be more accurate to say that it is called natural selection when the fitter members of a population reproduce to a greater degree than the less fit members.
In evolution survival of the fittest refers to?
In evolution, natural selection is often called survival of the fittest.
When natural selection favor the intermediate version of a characteristic it is called?
stabilizing selection
Can you have evolution without natural selection?
Of course you can. Google genetic drift and gene flow for two evolutionary drivers ( weak drivers ) that have nothing to do with natural selection. Then there is that subsection of natural selection called sexual selection.
Can natural selection act upon body shape?
Yes, that would be called the Homologous structure, and that changes in natural selection.
