they are more likely to have individuals with an adaption

∙ 13y agoThe true about species is that Sexual Selection is the skill of speciation acquired in the process of natural selection (Eukaryotes). This implies that diverse depends on opportunities to permeate Sexual Selection, and because opportunities aren't frequent, there is a lack of a diverse gene pool.

∙ 7y agoA species with a diverse gene pool are less threatened by environmental change because at least one form of the species would probably be able to adapt better than another form which would probably die out. while a species without a diverse gene pool could possibly die out if it was unable to adapt to the environmental change.

Why is it false that sexual reproduction is the only mechanism for genetic change?
I believe that mutations are considered to play a part, whether genetically mutated or selected by the changes in an environment. Eg. In a wet environment type A will survive and dominate the population thereby producing more type mutations As in the nxt generation. However, should a drought hit and type B carries the genes tht enable it to survive droughts better, then the 3rd generation will mostly contain type B mutants.
How can biodiversity affect the resilience of an ecosystem?
Biodiversity (i.e. biological diversity) can be compared to human population with different talents and knowhow such that when there is a calamity the more varying talents there is, in the population the faster its capacity to recover from that event. So in a more diverse community of plants and animals, when it experiences changes in environment or suffer destruction, be it natural or man-made, it can recover more quickly compared to a less diverse community of plants and animals. The higher the diversity, the higher the possible inter-connection/inter-relation between the individuals concerned to survive or adapt to the situation.
How can loss of Genetic Diversity can lead to extinction?
A species that is genetically diverse is more likely to survive in the event of a major change in it's environment, because of chance. A large swing in climate for instance, could entirely wipe out a species that was solely suited to a specific climate. However, if a portion of the species is more adaptable to a colder climate, and a portion is more adaptable to a warmer climate, even though a climate change would mean death for a large portion, a portion would be more likely to survive.
What is The carrying capacity of an environment for a particular species at a particular time is determined by?
The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food,habitat, water and other necessities available in the environment. In population biology, carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load,[1]which is different from the concept of population equilibrium.
How does genetic combination help a species to survive?
It causes diversity and variation amongst a population
Why is a genetically diverse population the more likely to survive a change to the environment?
they are more likely to have individuals with an adaption
How does having a diverse gene pool help a specie survive?
Species that lack a diverse gene pool are less able to adapt to changes in the environment and are less able to survive diseases.
How do adaptations affect a species?
they make the species more likely to survive.(apex)
Which individuals are most likely to survive and reproduce in a population?
Those who are more adapt to there environment.
Microevolution can occur when some individuals in a population survive and reproduce more often in a new environment?
Yes, microevolution can occur when some individuals in a population survive and reproduce more in a new environment. Natural selection can, over time, change the characteristics of entire populations.
Microevolution can occur when some individuals in a population survive and reproduce more often in a new environment what is this an example of?
This is an example of natural selection, a process in which advantageous traits for a specific environment are passed on to future generations, leading to changes in the population over time.
The most likely individuals in a population to survive and reproduce are?
Those best adapted to the environment in which they live.
How does natural selection influence adaptations?
Organisms who are more fit to their environment and who genetically have traits that are more beneficial in their situation,will be able to survive and reproduce. Thus, they will pass on these traits genetically to their offspring and helpful adaptations will be prevalent. Adaptation comes through survival of the fittest.

Why does the white tailed deer population drop when the carrying capacity is exceeded?
the environment cannot sustain the number of organisms and food becomes too scarce for such a population to survive
