Wheat is a crop that has been domesticated through artificial selection, not natural selection. Humans selectively bred wild grasses over thousands of years to enhance desirable traits such as seed size, yield, and resistance to diseases, resulting in the cultivated wheat we have today.
What else can I help you with?
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
This process is called natural selection. It is the mechanism by which traits that provide a survival or reproductive advantage to an organism become more common in a population over time.
What does natural selection produce?
Natural selection produces adaptations in organisms that increase their fitness and survival in a given environment. Through the mechanism of natural selection, organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual evolution of populations over time.
How you could use artificial selection to produce a new variety of wheat which is naturally resistant to yellow rust?
To produce a new variety of wheat resistant to yellow rust through artificial selection, one could start by identifying and breeding wheat plants that exhibit natural resistance to the disease. This involves selecting parent plants with desirable traits, such as robust immune responses, and cross-pollinating them to create offspring. The progeny would then be screened for resistance to yellow rust, and the most resilient individuals would be selected for further breeding. Over successive generations, this process would enhance the frequency of the resistance traits, ultimately resulting in a new wheat variety that thrives despite yellow rust challenges.
What are the similarities and differences between Natural Selection and Selective Breeding?
The similarity between natural selection and selective breeding is that they both produce changes in plants and animals.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
What will produce adaptive changes in populations?
Natural selection
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
This process is called natural selection. It is the mechanism by which traits that provide a survival or reproductive advantage to an organism become more common in a population over time.
How are organisms with certain traits more likely to survive and produce offspring?
Natural selection
What would farmers use to produce vegetables that will grow in a specific climate?
natural selection
What does natural selection produce?
Natural selection produces adaptations in organisms that increase their fitness and survival in a given environment. Through the mechanism of natural selection, organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual evolution of populations over time.
The process that discriminates between phenotypes with respect to their ability to produce offspring is known as?
Natural selection
If cows produce more milk when fed wheat then cows that were not fed wheat will produce less milk. What is the student doing?
Hypothesis, since it is a statement that is being tentative about the natural world, in this case dairy cows and the response to their milking ability if they are fed wheat or not.
How natural selection may have led some fungi to produce antiboitics?
Since natural selection also means the survival of the fittest, those organisms that produce antibiotics (against life) had a weapon to keep other organisms from taking their space that they needed to grow and reproduce.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
How have different environments produce different species?
different environments produced different species by natural selection.
How have different environments produce different specis?
different environments produced different species by natural selection.
Is natural selection a cause of speciation?
Yes. Without natural selection there might probably still be change, but it would produce a fine gradient of diverging morphologies in every 'direction' of change. Natural selection limits the 'directions' of change, thereby producing distinct morphologies and thus distinct species.
