One particular organism cannot become a different species in the middle of its lifetime. Doing so would mean an alteration to every strand of DNA in every cell of its body, which neither artificial science nor natural phenomena can do to the extent required.

One species or group of organisms can become a new species or group, or diverge into multiple species and groups. This is called speciation, and is observed in for example, Darwin's finches and some species of fruitflies.

What are some results of organism competition for limited resources within the environment?

Organism competition for limited resources can lead to evolutionary adaptations to access those resources more efficiently. It can also result in one species outcompeting another, leading to shifts in population sizes and distributions. In some cases, intense competition can lead to the extinction of less competitive species.


Which condition makes fossil formation of an organism's remains more likely?

One condition that best increases the chance that an organism will become fossilized is if the burial happens rapidly. Another condition that can increase the chance of an organism becoming fossilized is if the organism has hard body parts.


How can a mutation cause a change in the color of a species?

A mutation can cause a change in color in a species by altering the genes responsible for producing pigments. This can affect the appearance of an organism by changing the amount or type of pigment produced, leading to variations in coloration. Over time, these mutations can become fixed in a population through natural selection, contributing to the diversity of colors we see in different species.


Does and organism have to be buried to become a fossil?

No, an organism does not have to be buried to become a fossil. Fossils can form through a variety of processes, such as compression, mineral replacement, or petrification, which can occur even without burial.


Why is reproduction necessary for a species?

As they live the organisms comprising a species will age and die, they therefore need to reproduce (have babies) in order to replace the members of the species that die or the species will cease to exist (become extinct).

What can become extinct?

Any living thing can become extinct.Extinct means that this organism no longer exists. This can happen to any type of living organism(or non-living organism, if you are talking about viruses). if you are refering to a human being the person has to die before that person is extinct

When organisms become extinct they are no longer alive?

that is correct they are gone for good Strictly speaking, the term extinction is not applied to individual organisms, it is applied to a species. If there are no longer any living members of a specific species, then that species is said to be extinct. When an organism is no longer alive it is said to be dead.


Why organism different?

Organisms differ because their DNA differs from one species to another, and from one member of each species to another. Organisms differ because according to 'Darwinian science' creatures evolve to fill niches of ecological web. In other words, when species evolve it is to become better adapted to their environment, have a greater aptitude at surviving and then feed on what used to be its predators- who in turn adapt to survive. As this system progresses entropy increases causing an ever increasing diversity of life-forms.


When a species dies out what does it become?
