Question

Describe how natural selection can occur in a population.

Answer 1

is there any option

Answer 2

no it just asks for a description. @mutayyababidmughal

Answer 3

@Compassionate

Answer 4

@mutayyababidmughal do you think you can help me? If not can you point someone here that can?

Answer 5

might be @Jmmm @paki @shrutipande9 or @undeadknight26

Answer 6

the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.

Answer 7

Thank you @Jmmm

Answer 8

yep

Answer 9

Could you answer another question for me?

Answer 10

sure just post it

Answer 11

How can scientists determine a timeline for the divergence of species? Describe how the process works.

Answer 12

oh man dont think i can help you there

Answer 13

Natural Selection and Mutations -- In November of 1859, Charles Darwin published his famed book The Origin of Species, which is often considered the foundation of evolutionary biology. In this, he discussed how populations adapt over long periods of time through natural selection, the belief that those animals with the stronger, more beneficial traits in a species outlive those with the less beneficial traits, thereby changing the overall traits of the species. Another trait, usually incorporated within natural selection, is the idea of spontaneous mutations within the genetic thread that cause random changes in a species that are sometimes beneficial to its survival.
Speciation & Macroevolution-- Speciation is the process by which new biological species arise. This could be allopatric (when a species is split among two geological places), peripatric (small, isolated areas which prevent the species from exchanging genes with the main population), parapatric (the zones of two diverging populations are separate but do overlap), or sympatric (species diverge while inhabiting the same place). Macroevolution is the study of evolution that observes not what occurs in one species, but the changing of the state of the world as a whole.
The fossil record-- The fossil record is a huge asset to those attempting to prove the evolutionary theory, as the fossil record provides visible, tangible evidence or the morphology of a species over time. However, very few complete specimens are ever found, and a great deal of speculation is required. Speculations, while an aid to study, is not conclusive.
Strong connections between current species-- Most notably, the linkage existing between apes and humans. The DNA of both humans and apes contains 98% similarity between them.
Theory of common decent-- The theory of common decent is the belief that all organisms on earth share the same ancestor and evolved into the myriad of species present today.
A more brief treatment: Five supporting observations for evolution are:
Trackable changes in DNA
Fossil evidence
Observable modern evolution
Demonstrable predictability
Similar morphology in structures as species change
