How does natural selection affect the frequency of mutatons?
Natural selection works on mutations that are already in place. The environmental changes will select for certain mutations if the selective pressure is supplied long enough for several generations of offspring to carry a higher percentage of the mutation.
Is natural selection fast or slow process?
Natural selection can act relatively quickly, especially in response to sudden changes in the environment or when strong selection pressures are present. However, the speed of natural selection can vary depending on factors such as the generation time of the organisms involved and the strength of selection pressures. In general, natural selection is considered to be an ongoing and continuous process that can result in gradual changes over long periods of time.
Who proposed natural selection as a mechanism of evolution?
Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace proposed natural selection as a mechanism of evolution independently in the 19th century. Their work laid the foundation for the theory of evolution by natural selection.
What is the name for the process that causes a species to evolve?
Evolution is enabled by natural selection: the ability of a species through its individuals to make long-term improved changes in its response to its environment through beneficial mutations, resulting in the species being able to reproduce itself more successfully than before.
Does natural selection eliminate Huntington's disease?
No. Typically the symptoms of HD do not become apparent until long after a person would be of child bearing age.
What are the particular characteristics of an anteater?
The anteater has a long snout. Since the anteater is toothless, it has a long tongue that it uses to catch the ants. The anteater uses its snout and claws to reach into ant nests. The anteater has long hair as a protection against bites from the ants that they hunt and eat.
This insectivore has a long tongue and nose which it uses to pick up ants?
The insectivore that has a long tongue and eats ants is a aardvark. The aardvark also has a long nose.
What was in the Darwin's book the Origin of Species?
One long argument with supporting evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. Starting with artificial selection, used as an analogue for natural selection, and ending with the distribution of animals, biogeography, Darwin showed the species arose through natural process over long lengths of time.
Did the theory of natural selection come before heliocentric theory?
No. Not by a long shot.
What was natural selection based on during the holocaust?
The Holocaust has nothing to do with natural selection, or vice versa. The Holocaust was the result of atrocious crimes committed under the leadership of a few madmen, inspired by a long tradition of antisemitism. Natural selection is a model that describes differential reproductive success in natural populations, under natural circumstances.
How long does the anteater live?
24years
What animal has a long tonge to suck up ants?
The answer is a anteater. Let me know if there is any thing else.
Are Anteaters in danger?
The Giant Anteater is classed as 'Near Threatened' by the IUCN. As anteaters are placid creatures they are preyed upon by large cats such as Pumas and Jaguars. However, a cornered anteater will ride up on its hind legs, using its tail for support and use its long claws which are 4 inches long, to fight off the attacker. Anteaters are also hunted in South America for fur and food.
Animal that has long sticky tongue?
An anteater.
Which type of selection can result in branching evolution if it goes on long enough?
Natural selection is the type of selection that can result in a branching evolutionary tree if it goes on long enough. This is because organisms may eventually evolve into a distinct species.
How long does the process of natural selection and evolution take?
The process of natural selection and evolution can vary in terms of the time it takes, ranging from hundreds to millions of years depending on the species and environmental factors. Evolution is a gradual process that occurs over generations as populations adapt to their changing surroundings through natural selection.
What is the size of a fully grown anteater?
the Giant Anteater Myrmecophaga tridactyla, about 1.8 m (5.9 ft) long including the tail; the Silky Anteater Cyclopes didactylus, about 35 cm (14 in) long; the Southern Tamandua or Collared Anteater Tamandua tetradactyla, about 1.2 m (3.9 ft) long; and the Northern Tamandua Tamandua mexicana of similar dimensions.
