A population is different after natural selection because some of the negative genes have been weeded out. By experiencing natural selection things like obesity, weakness, and disease will be cut from the genetic pool (after many generations of coarse). Take a look at the Nam family to get a good example of this.

Why must there be variation in a population in order for natural selection to occur?

What would there be to select from if all the organisms in a population were not different in morphology and behavior. Some of these differences are reproductively successful against the immediate environment, and that environment is the natural selector.


Is it possible for a population to undergo natural selection?

No, there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.


Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?

No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.


Why would natural selection not occur in this poplutation?

What population? Perhaps you mean if there were no variation for natural selection to select from.


Which type of natural selection favors average individual in a population?

It is stabilizing selection


What requires natural selection to occur in a population?

Natural selection requires variation in traits within a population, heritability of those traits, and differential reproductive success based on those traits. Without these components, natural selection cannot act on a population.


Which type of natural selection in which the mean characteristics of a population are preserved?

This type of natural selection is called stabilizing selection because the mean traits of the population are being selected for against the immediate environment.


What is the most common type of natural selection?

The most common type of natural selection is stabilizing selection. This type of selection favors average traits in a population, reducing genetic diversity and maintaining the status quo of a population's characteristics.


What are the different types of natural selection and how do they impact the evolution of species?

There are three main types of natural selection: directional selection, stabilizing selection, and disruptive selection. Directional selection occurs when one extreme trait is favored over others, leading to a shift in the population towards that trait. Stabilizing selection favors the average trait, reducing genetic variation in a population. Disruptive selection favors extreme traits, leading to the divergence of a population into two distinct groups. These types of natural selection impact evolution by influencing which traits are passed on to future generations. Over time, they can lead to the adaptation of species to their environment and the emergence of new species.


Which type of natural selection occurs when the extreme opposites in a phenotype range are selected?

Disruptive selection occurs when the extreme phenotypes in a population are favored over intermediate phenotypes. This can lead to the divergence of a population into two distinct groups with different traits.
