What else can I help you with?
Why does the environment act on natural selection?
I know of no government that acts, in any direct or significant way, on natural selection.
What is the force driving natural selection?
Reproductive success. You are not evolving, but your progeny will; if you have any.
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.
Why is adaptation important to natural selections?
Natural Selection is any trait that helps you live. So adaptation is important b/c it helps you live. Take moths for an example, if they don't blend into their surroundings, then they will get eaten by a predator. Adaptations help the animals live, thats why its important to natural selection.

What factors should remain constant in a simulation of natural selection?
In a simulation of natural selection, factors that should remain constant include the environment in which the organisms exist, the initial genetic variation within the population, and the rules governing reproduction and survival. These constants ensure that any observed changes in the population's traits can be attributed to natural selection rather than external influences. Additionally, the availability of resources and predation pressure should also be controlled to accurately reflect selective pressures.
Is random selection of prey essential in any model of natural selection?
No, many forms of natural selection have no connection to predation.
Why does the environment act on natural selection?
I know of no government that acts, in any direct or significant way, on natural selection.

Are there any other adaptations exept from these?
Any other adaptations that "do not fit the environment" get discarded via natural selection
What process would most likely act against any offspring with an allele for cataracts?
natural selection
How would any changes in a mammal be passed on from generation to generation?
Through DNA, Genetics and Natural Selection.
Does natural selection require small population size?
No. Natural selection works in all populations. However, new alleles spread more slowly in large populations; the large size has a stabilizing effect. So one should expect large populations to change more slowly than smaller populations.
Why would you choose Natural Selection over Lamarckism?
Creationism should be chosen over those two any day.
How does overpopulation relate to natural selection?
Natural selection is the nonrandom process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of differemtial reproduction of their bearers. One of the main processes by which natural selection takes place is the competition over resources. The larger the population in a certain area, the more competition takes place. In the long run, it doesn't matter wheather or not the area is overpopulated; within any and every population, competition over resources takes places, so, in turn, natural selection does, too.
How does adaptation relate to natural selection?
Its a chicken and egg situation. Adaptation is the response to Natural Selection, and Natural Selection is the response to Adaptation. They both operate by the principle: the members of any species that are best adapted to their environment are the ones most likely to survive and reproduce the next generation, where the process repeats. That does not mean the strongest or most aggressive, they often get themselves killed off.
Where are humans going?
Nowhere predictable. Natural selection reacts to things that happen; there is no plan to it. Humans are not developing along any lines.
