The greatest natural cause for change in pH in a stream is the seasonal and daily variation in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses up hydrogen molecules, which causes the concentration of hydrogen ions to decrease and therefore the pH to increase. Respiration and decomposition processes lower pH. For this reason, pH is higher during daylight hours and during the growing season, when photosynthesis is at its peak.

How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?

Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.


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

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


What characteristic within populations cause natural selection to occur?

Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.


Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?

Genetic variation is necessary for natural selection to occur. This variation provides the raw material for differential survival and reproduction, which drives the process of natural selection. Without genetic variation, there would be no differences for natural selection to act upon.

This is a basic pH.


Can natural selection occur without variation in a population?

no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon


How does natural selection enhance or reduce the variability of a species?

Natural selection doesn't reduce variation. Variation is regulated by the rate of mutation.Natural selection reduces the chance of bad variation from being passed on and increases the chances for good variation to be passed on.


What principles includes variation and competition?

Natural selection.


Evolution by natural selection works best on populatin having no variation?

Evolution by natural selection actually relies on variation within a population. Without variation, there would be no genetic differences for natural selection to act upon, leading to no evolution. Variation provides the raw material for natural selection to work with, allowing beneficial traits to be favored and passed on to future generations.


Why was variation the weakest concept in Darwin's theory?

Variation?!?! That was an obvious observation of naturalists that opposed Darwin's concepts totally. Unless you mean the heritability that leads to variation? Explaining that variation was the problem. Creationists of the time explained this by positing god's whimsy in designing his species, but this was shown to be nonsense as natural processes are at work in variation and this can be shown experimentally. The concept of natural selection explained how that natural variation was selected on beneficial traits. What Darwin did not understand is how that variation was passed on to progeny. His explanation was wrong.
