The overall effect of transgenic organisms, provided that they are introduced to the ecosystem in a large enough number, is too magnanimous and complex to predict accurately. One thing is for sure though. Since the organisms' traits are no longer what they used to be because of the modifications, there could be an alteration or complete reversal of predator-prey relationships, for example. In general, a massive redefinition of the roles of the species will come about and this will drastically affect the food web and how nature works as we know it now.

What was the last ice age like?
Icy & cold. the last ice age was horrific of course where the snow started to melt it caused avalanches killing animals that survieved maybe even wiping out the last of species. by laura2790
What is sand bars made of?
Sandbars are made of sediment that has settled down to the surface. Usually happens where the water is moving more slowly. It is also comprised of decomposing organisms. So its pretty much stuff that has settled to the bottom. Oh and of course, sand!
What was the result of te scopes monkey trial?
Scopes was declared guilty, but people felt the law violated the Constitution. Scopes was fined and the law was upheld.
What was Juan Ponce de Leon's favorite music?
of course Pop Music
What is a 2 course meal?
A meal with soup followed by an entree is 'two course'
Are organisms able to consciously direct the course of their own evolution?
No. Evolution is a consequence of selective pressure(s) from the environment acting on organisms. Virtually all living beings are not conscious of this process.The only species that *could* consciously direct its own evolution is Homo sapiens (humans), but currently it doesn't.Artificial selection can and has consciously directed evolution, but it always was a species acting over other different species, not on their own evolution.
Can organisms that look different be the same species?
of course not. Animas are llike people, no to people are alike.
Does evolution continue in all existing species?
Of course. Everyday people and animals are changing. And adapting to their environments.
How can Darwinian evolution be true if biogenesis says life comes from life ONLY?
Look, Charles Darwin never addressed the issue of biogensis beyond speculation if that. Darwinian Evolution is only concerned with how do existing organisms give rise to new species, arguing that species are not immutable and give rise to new species, ie, life from existing life. In "Origin of Species" he presents the mechanism of evolution, remarkable since he did not know of Mendel's work or the existence of DNA! To say Darwinian Evolution claims life from non organic beginnings is erroneous and if propagated, deceitful. If you decide to challenge Darwinian Evolution then, please, do so from a position of understanding - read the book or take a course in Evolutionary Biology.
When related species become dissimilar as they evolve they are undergoing what type of evolution?
Divergent Evolution. Definition of Diverge: to deviate from a set course or standard. soource: google definitions
Who wrote the orgin of species which proposed a theory of evolution?
On The Origin Of Species By Means Of Natural Selection, Or the Preservation Of Favored Races In The Struggle For LifeCharles Robert Darwin ( of course! )
Should you continue with transgenic species research or do its drawbacks outweigh its advantages?
Yes, they should continue with transgenic species research. I work for a pharmaceuticals company and I have found that the interbreeding of different species can lead to scientific breakthroughs with the productions of new antibiotics that have been formulated using the information found via the research of transgenic species, This can save peoples lives providing that the experiments are performed correctly and abide by the law. Of course there are downsides of transgenic species research such as the creation of new super predators that could affect the future population of other species, if they was are not contained in a secure environment and therefore potentially escape into the wild. Evolving new diseases could occur and pandemics could break out with lethal consequences leading to mass fatalities, and even the extinction of existing species of animals. I believe that we should focus more on transgenic species research with plants, most species of plants can be modified to produce more oxygen thus creating a cleaner environment for all of us, there is less risk of any defection going seriously wrong whereas the tampering with interbreeding animals can have an extreme impact on the entire ecosystem, "socially" and "environmentally" . Overall I believe that we should continue with transgenic species research but we must be wary of how we go about it, maybe we should begin first with digging deeper into the possibilities of genetically modified plants and take baby steps as we are playing with nature. Due to the high risks associated with transgenic species research it is imperative that this is tightly controlled in secure environments and that the outcomes that are assessed are carefully evaluated, i firmly believe that there are dangers that we are yet to discover, we do not know until we have attempted to understand potential dangers that have not yet been discovered due to lack of our ability to analyse.
What is speciation ?
the formation of species
Who explained that evolution might have occurred in nature from simple to complex form and origin of species by natural selection?
Charles Robert Darwin, of course!
How did Charles Darwin discovered evolution?
Charles Darwin expanded a common theory of evolution by noting the course of natural selection. He was able to study the categorization of plants and animals species and the beginning of genetics.
What process did Darwin's book suggests that organisms evolve through?
These three ideas seem to run together, so it's important that you are able to distinguish among them. The theory that organisms change over time is evolution. The mechanism by which organisms evolve is natural selection. Survival of the fittest explains how natural selection works.Answer = Natural SelectionThe process of natural selection, of course.
Why do transgenic bacteria that have the gene for human insulin produce insulin produce in great abundance?
bacteria reproduce quickly. The more transgenic bacteria there are, the more insulin is produced. (I am taking an online Biology course and this question was asked, and this was the answer the online class gave me)
