Natural selection occurs only if there is both (1) variation in the genetic information between organisms in a population and (2) variation in the expression of that genetic information—that is, trait variation—that leads to differences in performance among individuals. What kind of variation might exist in bioluminescing organisms, and what differences in performance might result? (Remember, evolution is a consequence of the interaction of four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for an environment’s limited supply of the resources that individuals need in order to survive and reproduce, and (4) the ensuing proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and reproduce in that environment.)
Book: Greatest Show on Earth Answer the question below. In chapter 3, Dawkins suggests that selection is powerful yet unconscious of its actions ("without any understanding at all"). He uses a variety of examples to highlight how various organisms drive selection, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously, by mediating the breeding process. Using one of the examples explain how some organisms unconsciously drive the selection of others. -150 word minimum
Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false. 1. As recently as 200 years ago, many people believed that Earth was only 6,000 years old. 2. Artificial selection occurs when nature selects for beneficial traits. 3. The individual Galápagos Islands are all similar to each other. 4. Malthus argued that human populations grow faster than their resources. 5. Lamarck was one of the first scientists to propose that species evolve by natural selection. 6. Lyell was one of the first to say that Earth must be far older than most people believed. 7. Lamarck's inheritance of acquired characteristics is has become a widely accepted scientific theory. 8. Fossils proved to Darwin that species can evolve. 9. The term fitness to refer to an organism's ability to outrun its hunters. 10. Darwin published his findings soon after returning to England from the voyage of the Beagle. 11. According to Darwin, natural selection is what occurs, and evolution is how it happens. 12.…

INSTRUCTION: - Answer the Question Properly - Do not copy in Google or here in Bartleby QUESTION: Human immunodeficiency virus entered human populations after evolving from a simian immunodeficiency virus. Nikolaas Tinbergen (1963) 1 proposed explaining shifts in traits from two perspectives: dynamic versus static, and proximate versus ultimate. This framework can be used to understand the evolution of a trait in four ways: (i) causation (proximate/static): the mechanism of the trait as it works in the present; (ii) survival value (ultimate/static): how function of the trait enhances survival or reproduction; (iii) ontogeny (proximate/dynamic): the development of the trait in an individual; and (iv) evolution (ultimate/dynamic): the phylogenetic history of the trait. Use these categories to discuss the causes for the virus shifting to humans from other primates.
Measuring Genetic Diversity in Human Populations The theory of natural selection has been summarized popularly as survival of the fittest. Is this an accurate description of natural selection? Why or why not?
Theory of Evolution. Please answer all question that is just one sentence each question. PART 2 1. Why is it necessary for you to include the effects of natural selection in your biodiversity report? 2. How will species adaptation and populations affect your part of the study? 3. What predictions can you make with regards to the population, adaptation, and natural selection of your selected area? 4. What lead you to reach these predictions? 5. What methods will you use to determine and analyse the population and evidence of adaptation/natural selection?
1. Fitness is most correctly a technical term. What does it mean? What two things do you suppose govern the rate of evolution by natural selection? Explain how the Darwanian evolution can decrease and increase the frequency of an allele( or a more complex heritable trait, for that matter).
natural selection, why is maintaining genetic variation in populations such an important part of species being able to live through environmental changes? Include an example
Please select correct answer and please explain a bit why you choose it 1. which of the following is true about selection? a. selection is easier in a population with high variability b. selection is easier in a population with low variability c. best response to selection is seen in a homogenous population d. selection is difficult in a population with high variability 2. Type of random mating in which animals with different phenotypes are allowed to mate? a. assortative mating b. disassortative mating c. inbreeding d. None of the above
Revise the passage Darwin is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics, first presented in 1801 (Darwin's first book dealing with natural selection was published in 1859):Based on these observations and inferences, Darwin concluded that these traits, called adaptations were the product of evolution by Acquired Traits, these traits made the members of the population who had them equally fit for survival. an organism could also change during their lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. For example, darwin believed that if giraffes stretched their necks to reach food, Their offspring and later generations would inherit the resulting long necks.
