∙ 13y agoConditions on which natural selection takes place.
1. Reproduction of living organisms of which many more are born than can survive on the resources provided by the environment.
2. Genetic heritability of morphological and behavioral traits in a generally vertical fashion.
3. That the progeny produced be genetic and morphologically variant.
4. That the immediate environment ' naturally selects ' the better suited variant organism possessing the better fitted adapted traits to this environment. And that these traits confering this selective advatage are passed unto progeny.

Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
What is the selective agent in natural selection?
They are the selective agent in natural selection ;)
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.
Is natural selection responsible for inherited traits?
no, inherited traits are responsible for natural selection
What are the influences of evolution?
genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, natural selection and nonrandom mating ( sexual selection ).
What are the three influences on the selection process?
three influences on the selection process
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.
What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
Adaptation which allows for natural selection is called?
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
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.
Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
What was Darwin's overall conclusion regarding natural selection?
That selection was natural.
Is adaptation part of natural selection?
Adaptation is the result of natural selection.
The mechanism by which organisms evolve is known as?
Natural Selection
What principles includes variation and competition?
Natural selection.
