☆☆☆☆☆a species can gradually change into new species
The ability to survive and reproduce
There must be genetic variation in the population
The system must not be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium.
resources must be limited in the ecosystem
Mathus felt that population is limited by food supply so we need to limit population growth or starve.
The peppered moth had white bodies and wings, peppered with black. This coloration blended well into the original British countryside, hiding them from their predator the birds. Factories of the early industrial revolution covered everything with soot. Now the white stood out against the black surroundings making them easy targets for birds. Over time the white moths were wiped out. But, a few of them were darker in color, these survived and multiplied such that the white peppered moth was replaced buy the dark ones.
Black moths were selected for when the trees turned black.
the moths with the high fitness were selected for
The black moths were more fit for survival, so their phenotype frequency increased.
Why do organisms in different places have different traits (apex)
allele frequency change Apex :)
The method an organism uses to produce offspring
the way that a species creates offspring
genus
Finches developed many different adaptations. For example, one type of finch had a short strong beak meant for cracking seeds, while another had a long narrow beak for gathering food from the inside of flowers, and cacti, therefore making each species more adapted to its specific environment and more able to gather food then they would on another island with a different main food source.
