Does a parameter ever change for a set population?

What ecosystem change would impact the population of bluebirds the most?
An increase in the spider and insect population.-_-
Which combination of characteristics in a poplulation would provide the greatest potential for evolutionary change?
The characteristic of a population that would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population would be asexual reproduction. This is because the offspring are identical to the parent.
What characteristics of a population would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population?
Asexual reproduction and few mutations
Living things have a long history of change?
evolutionary change.
Is a drought a chemical or a physical change?
Drought is not a change, is the result of a physical process.
What is the term for an evolutionary change in one species that result in the evolutionary change of another species?
This phenomenon is known as coevolution, where changes in one species can drive changes in another species as they interact and exert selective pressures on each other over time.
What is Phyletic change?
Evolutionary change is a process where things change over a period of time. Such as going from a candle, to a light bulb.
What can lead scientist to change an evolutionary tree?
What can lead scientists to change an evolutionary tree?
What is observed evolutionary change?
Morphological and behavioral changes that speak to, the change in allele frequency over time in that population of organisms. Go here and check observed speciation section.talkorigins.org
Which characteristics of a populations would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population?
3. asexual reproduction and few mutations
What are the raw material of evolutionary change?
Mutations are considered as the raw materials of evolutionary change. They are structural changes in the DNA sequence of an organism.
What is adaptation in biology?
In bio, adaptation usually refers to an evolutionary change an organism has made to better suit its environment. This change is a process and usually takes thousands of years. Evolutionary adaptation is not to be confused with acclimation, which is when an organism simply gets used to its environment during its lifetime and makes no evolutionary changes.
What do scientists now think about pace of evolutionary change?
A combination of both gradualism and punctuated equilibrium best explains the pace of evolutionary change
