Vestigial structures are not removed by natural selection because they may still confer some minor benefit or have a neutral effect on an organism's fitness. While these structures may no longer serve their original function, they can persist if they do not significantly hinder survival or reproduction. Additionally, the evolutionary process is influenced by various factors, including genetic drift and environmental changes, which can allow vestigial traits to remain in a population despite their reduced utility.

why are structures not removed by natural selection?
Vestigial structures do not harm the organism. Nature selects against only harmful traits.
A small number of finches are removed randomly from the wild and placed in a protected bird area. They are given as much food as they need and have plenty of space. Why would natural selection not occ?
Natural selection would not occur in this scenario because the finches are provided with ample resources and a controlled environment, reducing competition for food and space. Additionally, the lack of environmental pressures, such as predators or harsh weather, means that all individuals have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. As a result, traits that might otherwise be advantageous or disadvantageous in a natural setting are not tested, leading to a lack of evolution through natural selection.
Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural section?
Vestigial structures are remnants of features that were once functional in an organism's ancestors but are no longer needed in the current environment. Natural selection does not actively remove these structures because they do not typically have a negative impact on an organism's fitness. Since they do not hinder survival or reproduction, they are not actively selected against.

Why do molluscs have a soft body?
When they first appeared, they all had a hard shell to protect them, as they evolved and natural selection removed some of their relatives, this trait was removed and (like octopodes and squid) the shell became a vestigial structure and was removed.
How do disease affect natural selection?
Diseases are an agent of selection. Exposed animals that survive the disease process are the ones that live to reproduce. Individuals that succumb are removed from the gene pool. The mechanism of survival could be a more robust immune system or mutation(s) that is/are inherently immune for reasons other than immune response.

How can genes be removed from the gene pool?
Genes can be removed from the gene pool through natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Natural selection removes genes that are less advantageous for survival and reproduction over time. Genetic drift is the random change in gene frequency in a population due to chance events. Gene flow occurs when individuals migrate between populations and bring new genetic material, potentially diluting or replacing existing genes.

Why are the natural resource of the arctic island not being removed very quickly?
The natural resources in the arctic are not being removed very quickly because of the permafrost. The permafrost is hard to dig up, pretty much too hard. Because of that, the natural recourses resources are not being removed very quickly!
