Natural selection likely favored individuals of Eohippus that were better adapted to their environment, such as those with longer limbs for faster running to evade predators or with teeth suited for browsing on tough vegetation. Over time, these advantageous traits became more common in the population while less beneficial traits were minimized, leading to the evolution of the species.
What else can I help you with?
Was it absolutely necessary for natural selection to take place?
Genetic change is necessary for natural selection to take place
What type of natural selection causes no change in the population?
If a population exists in an environment that changes very little, then natural selection may not provide any pressure to change. However, even under these conditions genetic driftoccurs, introducing random change within the parameters set by natural selection.
Can RNA undergo a natural selection and cause evolution or change?
no
Which is more likely to be true natural selection or evolution?
Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.
In natural selection human decide which change is favorable or not true or false?
.
Which of the following is the most powerful evolutionary force in large populations over time?
Only natural selection could be the answer here as natural selection is the main driver of adaptive change leading to evolutionary change and speciation in large populations.
Was it absolutely necessary for natural selection to take place?
Genetic change is necessary for natural selection to take place
What is true about nature selection?
Natural selection usually causes a species to change gradually
What drives the rate of diversity change?
Natural selection, Evolution, Artificial selection, disasters
Is natural selection a process or a result of a process?
Natural selection is only the result of changing environments, mutation and the variation resulting therein. Natural selection is the process of adaptive change and the main mechanism of evolution that leads to speciation. Natural selection is a process as mutation and variation are grist to the mill of natural selection.
What type of natural selection causes no change in the population?
If a population exists in an environment that changes very little, then natural selection may not provide any pressure to change. However, even under these conditions genetic driftoccurs, introducing random change within the parameters set 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.

How do enviromental factors contribute to evolution by natural selection?
Environmental factors don't just contribute - they are the cause of the evolution of a species. For example, the horse is descended from a dog-sized creature called the Eohippus, which had separate toes instead of hooves, etc. It's evolution towards the horse came about through an environmental change of some sort. Presumably, the more jungle-like terrain the Eohippus would have thrived in began to thin out, becoming more open plains. Without trees or bushes to hide in, the Eohippus would have been easier to prey on. The ability to outrun predators would have been favoured by natural selection over the ability to hide from them. As a result, the individual toes gradually became the hooves adapted to running very quickly that we can see today. The small organism would have evolved towards the powerful modern horse. But without that environmental change, the Eohippus would still be here today.
