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.
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.
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.
Why does natural selection not directly affect genes?
Natural selection acts on the way organisms interact with one another and with their environment. The genes of organisms are not usually themselves involved in this interaction: they direct it through intermediaries such as proteins. So natural selection must work through these intermediaries to affect genes.
When traits that help an organism survive so it has a better chance to reproduce?
natural selection
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.
What is the application of natural selection theory to human society?
Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
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.
Who is the scientist that collected so much information to support natural selection in 1809?
Charles Darwin, the creator of the theory of natural selection, was born 1809.
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
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.
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.
