What is three reasons why a sexual reproduction is beneficial?
genetic diversity more efficient natural selection
How many parts does the process of natural selection have?
The process of natural selection has three main parts: variation, heredity, and differential reproductive success. These parts work together to drive evolutionary change in populations over time.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
This process is called natural selection. It is the mechanism by which traits that provide a survival or reproductive advantage to an organism become more common in a population over time.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
Which form of natural selection is shown on the chart stabilizing disruptive or directional?
To determine which form of natural selection is represented on the chart, it would be essential to examine the characteristics of the population depicted. Stabilizing selection favors average traits, disruptive selection favors extreme traits, and directional selection favors one extreme over the other. Without seeing the chart, it’s impossible to specify which type is shown, but you can identify the type by looking for these patterns in trait distribution.
What process behavior patterns to change over generations as a result of reproductive success?
change through natural selection
What are the three ways natural selection can affect the distribution of phenotype?
Blah
How did Darwin explain the patterns of distribution of plants and animals?
He explained them in terms of descent with modification, common descent and natural selection.
What do the three types of natural selection have in common?
The common factor in the three types are that dominant traits are preferred.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
Describe three patterns of natural selection on polygenic traits Which one leads to two distinct phenotypes?
One pattern of natural selection polygenic traits is directional selection, in which one end of the spectrum leads to increased fitness and the other end decreased fitness. Disruptive selection is when both ends of the spectrum lead to increased fitness and the middle leads to decreased fitness and it leads to two distinct phenotypes being selected for. It's opposite is stabilizing selection, in which the middle has the best fitness and the two extremes have decreased fitness.
What three word phrase summarizes Darwin?
descent with modification
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Which of the three types of natural selection works to preserve genetic variability within the population?
stabilizing
What is three reasons why a sexual reproduction is beneficial?
genetic diversity more efficient natural selection
What is the prefix and suffix of natural selection?
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
