If there is a genetic mutation in an individual strong enough to modify there chance of survival it opens the door for natural selection. If the effect is positive they are more likely to outlive their original species. If it is negative it decreases their chance of outliving their original species. Also known as survival of the fittest it favors positive trays by "eliminating" negative ones.
What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is the most powerful evolutionary force in large populations over time?
Only natural selection could be the answer here as natural selection is the main driver of adaptive change leading to evolutionary change and speciation in large populations.
Is natural selection a process or a result of a process?
Natural selection is only the result of changing environments, mutation and the variation resulting therein. Natural selection is the process of adaptive change and the main mechanism of evolution that leads to speciation. Natural selection is a process as mutation and variation are grist to the mill of natural selection.
What concept of evolution explains why organisms are constructed to meet the demands of their environment?
Natural selection explains adaptive change in the immediate environment.
What are four forces that can change the frequency of genes in a population?
- natural selection - sexual selection - genetic drift - immigration/emagration
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Which of the following is the most powerful evolutionary force in large populations over time?
Only natural selection could be the answer here as natural selection is the main driver of adaptive change leading to evolutionary change and speciation in large populations.
Was it absolutely necessary for natural selection to take place?
Genetic change is necessary for natural selection to take place
What is true about nature selection?
Natural selection usually causes a species to change gradually
What drives the rate of diversity change?
Natural selection, Evolution, Artificial selection, disasters
Natural selection works best on what?
Natural selection works best on traits that enhance an organism's fitness, which is its ability to survive and reproduce in a specific environment. These advantageous traits increase the likelihood of passing on genes to the next generation. Additionally, natural selection is most effective in populations with genetic variation, as this variation provides the raw material for adaptive changes over time. Environments that change frequently or are highly competitive also tend to drive natural selection more strongly.
Is natural selection a process or a result of a process?
Natural selection is only the result of changing environments, mutation and the variation resulting therein. Natural selection is the process of adaptive change and the main mechanism of evolution that leads to speciation. Natural selection is a process as mutation and variation are grist to the mill of natural selection.
Is natural selection a cause of speciation?
Yes. Without natural selection there might probably still be change, but it would produce a fine gradient of diverging morphologies in every 'direction' of change. Natural selection limits the 'directions' of change, thereby producing distinct morphologies and thus distinct species.
What type of natural selection causes no change in the population?
If a population exists in an environment that changes very little, then natural selection may not provide any pressure to change. However, even under these conditions genetic driftoccurs, introducing random change within the parameters set by natural selection.
What term is defined as natural change that occur in communities over time?
Natural selection
What did Charles Darwin do to change the world?
Discovered Natural Selection
Can RNA undergo a natural selection and cause evolution or change?
no
How do animals adapt and change?
Animals change and adapt through evolution by natural selection.
