Some individuals of a population or species are better suited to?
Survive and Reproduce
Why is genetic diversity good for survival of a population?
The population will have more possible adaptations. a[ex just gave me the answer
How does the population of prey affect the population of the predator?
Predator and prey evolve together. The prey is part of the predator's environment, and the predator dies if it does not get food, so it evolves whatever is necessary in order to eat the prey: speed, stealth, camouflage (to hide while approaching the prey), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to find the prey), immunity to the prey's poison, poison (to kill the prey) the right kind of mouth parts or digestive system, etc. Likewise, the predator is part of the prey's environment, and the prey dies if it is eaten by the predator, so it evolves whatever is necessary to avoid being eaten: speed, camouflage (to hide from the predator), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to detect the predator), thorns, poison (to spray when approached or bitten), etc. The fastest lions are able to catch food and eat, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster lions make up more and more of the population. The fastest zebras are able to escape the lions, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster zebras make up more and more of the population. An important thing to realize is that as both organisms become faster to adapt to their environments, their relationship remains the same: because they are both getting faster, neither gets faster in relation to the other. This is true in all predator-prey relationships.
What happens when members from separated populations do not reproduce with each other?
They become separate species.
How can populations become reproductively isolated?
Any time there's a barrier... physical, geographical (distance), or behavioral... between the two that means they no longer reproduce with each other but only within their own group.
Microevolution can occur when some individuals in a population survive and reproduce more often in a new environment?
Yes, microevolution can occur when some individuals in a population survive and reproduce more in a new environment. Natural selection can, over time, change the characteristics of entire populations.
Which individuals are most likely to survive and reproduce in a population?
Those who are more adapt to there environment.
The most likely individuals in a population to survive and reproduce are?
Those best adapted to the environment in which they live.
How does over hunting cause a species population to decreas?
Too few individuals remain to reproduce
When does a population explosion happen?
It occurs when the individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate.
By what process individuals better adapted to the environment survive and reproduce?
Natural Selection
Some individuals of a population or species are better suited to?
Survive and Reproduce
When individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate it is called?
When individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate, it is called an exponential growth. Populations generally experience this growth under ideal conditions.
The process by which individuals that have favorable variations and are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals do?
The process by which individuals that have favorable variations and are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals is called natural selection. This is part of Darwin's theory.
What is the process by which individuals with variations that make them best suited for their environment reproduce more than individuals without those variations?
Natural Selection
What is the process which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce is called?
natural selection
Natural selection is based on Darwin and observation that individuals most likely to survive and reproduce are those .?
Are those individuals best adapted to their immediate environment.
