No, but adaptive change would be difficult. Remember, evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Mutation, genetic drift, genetic flow and other processes would continue without natural selection.
The phenotype of organisms determines the way they interact with one another and with their environment. The way organisms interact with one another and with their environment determines how well each organism is able to compete for resources and mates - what the chances are of that organism successfully raising fertile offspring, in other words. Such offspring will likely carry the genes that give them their parent's successful phenotype. So over the generations, the genes that produce such successful phenotypes will become more numerous in the population, causing a shift in the average of phenotypes towards this successful phenotype.
Absolutely. We have "moderated" its effects some with our technology (especially in the last 100 years, but that is too short a period to make much difference) but you can't stop it. Being hit and killed by a bus because of inattentiveness is as effective a means of selection as being killed and eaten by a predator because of inattentiveness was thousands of years ago.
The wind has not stopped before but it can stop if we have no weather. For example, there would be no clouds, no rain,snow,hail,or other natural disaster, also the sky would not be blue. Most people say,"oh feel that the wind stopped"! But for the wind to stop there would be no weather and the earth would stop orbiting around the sun or on it's axis. There is a 99.9% chance that the wind would stop blowing.
Nobody did. Hurricane Andrew formed and dissipated by natural forces. Nobody can stop a hurricane.
Natural selection is when 'nature chooses' the organism with the favourable characteristics to survive. E.G. Giraffe's Long-necked giraffes are 'chosen by nature' because they have the favourable characteristic of being tall, which allows them to reach higher branches in higher trees. Whilst shorter-necked giraffes cant reach this food source and as the shorter trees run out of vegetation, the shorter-necked giraffes will end up dead.Artificial selection is when 'man-chooses' the organism that he wants because of their favorable characteristics,E.G Choosing the 'fat' cows to breed to produce more fat cows because they have more meat in them. This will in-turn affect the numbers of the 'skinner' cows with undesirable characteristics.Artificial selection is where man selects organisms with useful characteristics to him whereas natural selection is the process whereby nature selects the fittest organisms.A2. Some social insects such as ants employ aphids to grow fungi, it follows that the ants also have a part to play in Artificial Selection, in both the aphids and the fungi. So it is not just man.
Natural selection directs evolution; it cannot stop or prevent it.
False. Isolation promotes natural selection of the unique mutations and recombinations in an isolated population, thus leading to evolution.
No. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. This may be the result of stabilizing selection, but is still evolution.
Evolution never stops, although at times it is a very slow process. An organism that is perfectly adapted to its ecological niche would experience no evolutionary pressure, but then, no niche stays the same forever; the environment changes, and organisms must adapt.
No genetic variation in the cheetah population gene pool, so natural selection has nothing to select from and the inbreeding depression keeps deleterious traits breeding true among cheetahs and natural selection can not eliminate them from the gene pool.
The only natural way to stop your period would be to get pregnant.
" Survival of the fittest " is an inaccurate phrase coined by one Herbert Spencer, though Darwin did use this phrase in later edition of The Origin. The theory of evolution by natural selection showed how the " fit " survive and, more importantly, achieve reproductive success. Tell your teacher to stop using this phrase!
Yes its true its actually amazing and astonishing that toads never stop growing. Sources: Evelution Through Natural Selection (Book)
The notion of a deity causing the process of evolution by natural selection is referred to as 'theistic evolution'. However, it is often called 'evolutionary creationism' if the concept of God as Creator is wanted to be emphasised. There are many different types however; some believe that God caused the laws which subsequently govern the natural world and the evolution process; others believe that God continually sustains the process and shapes its future. The former is a bit like God winding up a pocket watch and then letting it work independently; the latter is more like God writing on a piece of paper - if He stops writing, the process will stop; it is continuous activity.
The point of Evolution is that it doesn't start or stop at any given point. It's a natural process that happens throughout life. Evolution is caused by triggers in genes. Different animals have different triggers. These triggers can be caused by different things, but most commenly a change in habitat.
