What is artificial selection

Artificial Selection Answer Artificial Selection is the breeding of certain traits (better traits) over other traits. For example, breeding a good male horse with excellent racing qualities with a healthy female horse so that the offspring will have the desired traits such as the racing qualities. Another example is breeding good size fruits or vegetable together to keep on getting the good size.

Selection done by humans looking to maximize traits in animals under domestication. These traits are not always for the benefit of the organism though. Men raise these animals and mate the ones they think will breed true for a man favored trait and cull the rest of the organisms by killing them, or by not allowing them to breed.

What is the genus and species of a living organism

The genus and species of an organism are the final specific categories that an organism can be placed in. The genus contains the organism itself, and often it contains closely related species. The species name is unique to each species, and sets it apart from the other related species in the same genus.

What is homologus structure

a structure with similar shape but different use. ( APEX )

What causes genetic drift

random chance.

What did Malthus think would limit the population size

Food supply

How is DNA used as evidence of evolution

All living things have DNA -- both coding and non-coding DNA. The percentage of similarity between living things matches up with the preexisting theory of evolution.

What must be true for natural selection to happen

There must be genetic variation in the population

The system must not be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium.

resources must be limited in the ecosystem

How is radioactive dating important for providing evidence for evolution

It tells you when the animal that made a fossil was alive.

Radio carbon dating proves scientifically the age of a given material. If a fossil is found embedded in material that is x number of years old and a similar fossil is found x number of years older or younger then we can surmise the evolution of that species. There are thousands of examples of theoretical evolution using this method.

When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution

When there is low gene flow

When there is no selective pressure

When there is a bottleneck

What is the most ethical reason for running a simulation rather than introducing an actual predator into a real ecosystem

A scientist should observe the natural world without changing or destroying it.

What groups is the smallest level of classification

genus

What is meant by a structure within a structure

A structure that is a member of another structure is a structure within a structure.

Why does th Nile River not flood

It does flood

What would be an example of an adaptation in a rain forest but not in the Arctic

example: a grizzl bear thats from ot, dry weather and the people moved it to the rain forest its adaption would be learing how to get use to the cold or the rain. :)

What is the term for the remains of once living organism

Fossil

The inclusion of random chance in an experiment is an attempt to imitate aspects of the natural world A.Each individual in a population behaves in a slightly different manner. B.Some organisms a

Each individual in a population behaves in a slightly different manner.

Which is true about adaptions

Organisms are born with them
