Natural selection likely favored individuals of Eohippus that were better adapted to their environment, such as those with longer limbs for faster running to evade predators or with teeth suited for browsing on tough vegetation. Over time, these advantageous traits became more common in the population while less beneficial traits were minimized, leading to the evolution of the species.

Was it absolutely necessary for natural selection to take place?
Genetic change is necessary for natural selection to take place
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.
Can RNA undergo a natural selection and cause evolution or change?
no
Which is more likely to be true natural selection or evolution?
Evolution, of course. Evolution can happen without natural selection in some cases; drift, flow. Generally though, natural selection causes evolution and then, by definition, would come first.
In natural selection human decide which change is favorable or not true or false?
.
Which of the following is the most powerful evolutionary force in large populations over time?
Only natural selection could be the answer here as natural selection is the main driver of adaptive change leading to evolutionary change and speciation in large populations.
Was it absolutely necessary for natural selection to take place?
Genetic change is necessary for natural selection to take place
What drives the rate of diversity change?
Natural selection, Evolution, Artificial selection, disasters
What is true about nature selection?
Natural selection usually causes a species to change gradually
Is natural selection a process or a result of a process?
Natural selection is only the result of changing environments, mutation and the variation resulting therein. Natural selection is the process of adaptive change and the main mechanism of evolution that leads to speciation. Natural selection is a process as mutation and variation are grist to the mill of natural selection.
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.
Is natural selection a cause of speciation?
Yes. Without natural selection there might probably still be change, but it would produce a fine gradient of diverging morphologies in every 'direction' of change. Natural selection limits the 'directions' of change, thereby producing distinct morphologies and thus distinct species.
What term is defined as natural change that occur in communities over time?
Natural selection
Can RNA undergo a natural selection and cause evolution or change?
no
