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 comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
How has the natural selection harmed the ecosystem?
It hasn't. Natural selection is a key part of the ecosystem itself.
What does natural selection have to do with biodiversity?
Natural selection is the mechanism primarily responsible for the development of today's biodiversity.
Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
Relate natural selection to the beak sizes of finches?
The numbers of birds with different beak shapes are changed by natural selection in response to the available food suply.
How does natural selection relate to randomness?
In all natural processes, there is an element of chance. In natural selection, most of that chance is introduced by the randomness of the genetic variations it works with. But other elements of chance exist as well. Natural selection is a stochastic phenomenon: not every less able variant will produce less offspring than the more able variant; much depends on chance environmental circumstances.
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.
Does the term pioneer have to relate to a person?
Yes it does. For example, "She pioneered the student graduate scheme" or "Charles Darwin pioneered the natural selection theory of evolution"
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
How does adaptation relate to natural selection?
Its a chicken and egg situation. Adaptation is the response to Natural Selection, and Natural Selection is the response to Adaptation. They both operate by the principle: the members of any species that are best adapted to their environment are the ones most likely to survive and reproduce the next generation, where the process repeats. That does not mean the strongest or most aggressive, they often get themselves killed off.
What is the prefix and suffix of natural selection?
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
The mechanism by which organisms evolve is known as?
Natural Selection
What principles includes variation and competition?
Natural selection.
What is another term for the surivival of the fittest?
Natural selection
What was Darwin's overall conclusion regarding natural selection?
That selection was natural.
