What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
This process is called natural selection. It is the mechanism by which traits that provide a survival or reproductive advantage to an organism become more common in a population over time.
What comes first mutation or natural selection?
Natural selection can only work on genetic variation that already exists. So mutation comes first, then natural selection.
How has the natural selection harmed the ecosystem?
It hasn't. Natural selection is a key part of the ecosystem itself.
What does natural selection have to do with biodiversity?
Natural selection is the mechanism primarily responsible for the development of today's biodiversity.
Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of?
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of selective breeding for increased milk production. This process involves choosing cows with desirable traits, such as high milk production, and breeding them to pass on these traits to future generations. Over time, this can lead to a population of cows that consistently produce more milk than the original population due to genetic selection.
Why are cattle bred by artificial selection?
They are not. Cattle (cows and heifers) are bred either via artificial insemination, or natural breeding.
When farmers select the largest hogs the fastest horses or the cows that produce the most milk for breeding is called?
This is called selective breeding or artificial selection, opposed to natural selection.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive?
Its NaTuRaL sElEcTiOn if you didn't know.
When dairy farmer chooses to breed the cows that give the most milk in the herd the farmer are following the principle of?
When a dairy farmer chooses which cows to breed based upon milk production, he is taking advantage of natural selection.
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
What is the prefix and suffix of natural selection?
The prefix of natural selection is "natural" and the suffix is "-tion".
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Is natural selection a form of adaptation?
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
The mechanism by which organisms evolve is known as?
Natural Selection
What principles includes variation and competition?
Natural selection.
Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
