What does Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection predict?
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection predicts that species will change over time as individuals with favorable traits for survival and reproduction will be more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation. This process leads to the gradual accumulation of adaptations that increase the species' fitness in its environment.
What does natural selection predict about mimicry camoflauge homologous structures and vestigial structures?

The work of hardy and weinberg led to what statement about evolution?
The Hardy-Weinberg principle provides a mathematical model to predict genotype frequencies in a population that is not evolving. If genotype frequencies in a population do not match the predicted frequencies, then evolution (such as genetic drift, natural selection, or gene flow) is likely occurring.
Why tsunamis are difficult to predict?
Tsunamis are difficult to predict because the earthquakes that cause them are difficult to predict. It takes a massively powerful earthquake to displace the amount of water needed to cause a tsunami.
Why do scientist try to predict natural disasters?
Scientists try to predict natural disasters in order to minimize their impact on human lives, property, and the environment. By providing early warnings and evacuation procedures, scientists aim to help communities prepare and respond more effectively to natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

What does Darwin theory predict?
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection predicts that species will evolve over time through the process of natural selection, with traits best suited for survival and reproduction becoming more common in a population. This theory explains how biodiversity arises and how species are adapted to their environments.

True of False As a result of hundreds of thousands of years of natural selection modern humans are now perfectly adapted to their environment?
False. Organisms are never ' perfectly adapted to the environment, as evolution is blind and can not predict the future, or create anew. All is ' tinkered ' together in the organism on top of adaptions that were from past environments. Natural selection adapts as best it can to the immediate environment and carries vestigial traits and poor engineering solutions on to future generations. ( appendix and the hole in the retina for two examples of this ) While man can shape his environment only a benighted social scientists could think we, as living organisms. are beyond natural selection and evolution, or that we have been perfectly adapted to the present environment.

What are the benefits of evolution?
Well, our existence. That's one. Orgasms, that's a product of evolution. Happiness, joy, the instinct to help one another, those are all products of natural selection. We also use evolution to fight against diseases, predict how they're going to change and so on. Evolution also ensures that the various changing ecosystems in the world don't come crashing to a halt and cut short our food supply, that's nice. If you mean our continued evolution, we're getting smarter (though at a depressingly slow rate), taller, and we're adapting to changes in our diets.
What is the next step for evolution?
Evolution doesn't work like a step-ladder going up. It is a diverging tree. Where humanity is going is very difficult to predict. Natural selection doesn't act much upon our populations any more. Now our evolution will be governed almost exclusively by genetic drift which is a random process. One simply cannot predict this, it just might be that tomorrow another major extinction event occurs wiping out 99.99% of species and things effectively have to start over with a severely pruned evolutionarily tree. Given such an event and the fact that there is only one human speciesand well over a million beetle species, which do you think has the higher statistical chance of surviving long term.
How is the study of evolution similar to the study of history?
One reason is that you are studying the past and evolution is a poor predictor of what will happen in the future. What is can predict is what is happening now with organisms Just like the study of history except the testable hypotheses that can be generated from the theory of evolution by natural selection are much more precise than historical analysis.
What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
What do scientists do to predict tsunamis?
they predict other natural disasters like earthquakes and see if the trembles will reach the other side of the ocean causing a tsunami.
Can scientist predict the exact path of evolution?
No. They can, however, trace it back and extrapolate possible future changes in certain circumstances
How can you know a fire whirl is coming?
It is not easy to predict natural disasters . see link
