Evolution is the observed effect of natural selection acting on reproductive variation. Natural selection is a continuous process. The rate at which natural selection changes allele frequencies depends on the effect of the allele in the world. If the allele considered provides a significant reproductive benefit when compared to rival alleles, it will spread throughout the population gene pool much faster than the rival alleles.

What is the name of the slow process which by living creatures change?

The slow process by which living creatures change is called evolution. It involves the gradual development of organisms over generations, driven by factors such as natural selection, genetic mutation, and adaptation to their environment.


How does natural selection predict a gradualistic mode of evolution?

Gradualism isn't a prediction of natural selection, but of our understanding the mechanisms that produce reproductive variation. Natural selection makes predictions about allele frequencies in populations and reproductive fitness.


What is a slow process of change to the earth's surface?

A slow process of change to the earth's surface can be weathering or erosion.


What role does natural selection play in microevolution?

First, I should mention that 'micro-evolution' is not a process in itself. Rather, it is a perspective on the effects of evolution. 'Micro-evolution' is those effects seen from close-up; by 'zooming out' one sees those same results in a wider scope called 'macro-evolution'. All evolution is driven by genetic variation and natural selection. Natural selection drives evolution by filtering out some variations while promoting others, thereby directing the slow change of morphology and behaviour of populations.


What is the answer to the change from the liquid to the gas state of matter?

When a liquid changes to a gas, that can be done by means of a slow process called evaporation, or a fast process called boiling.

What is the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully?

Natural Selection is a process which individuals are better adapted to their enviorment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Say there are turtles barely hatching and there are hungry seagul waiting to be fed, the fastest ones will make it to the water safely while the slow ones are being eaten. so eventually all the turtles in the sea will become faster to get away from predators. hopefully that answered your question.

Is an earthquake fast or slow process?

It is a fast, because it will be over in hours.


Is weathering a fast or slow process?

Weathering is generally a slow process that occurs over time as a result of exposure to natural elements such as water, wind, and temperature changes. The rate of weathering can vary depending on factors such as the type of rock or material being weathered, the climate, and the amount of exposure to weathering agents.

What is the difference between the meanings of the terms evolution and natural selection?

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Change over time and a fact. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms and explains much about the fact of evolution.


What is the slow process that results in new species?

The slow process that results in new species is called speciation. This occurs when a population of a species becomes isolated from the rest of its species and over time, genetic mutations and natural selection cause it to evolve into a distinct species. This process can take thousands or even millions of years to be completed.
