All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of A) beneficial DNA mutations. B) movement to new environments where survival is easier. C) cross-breeding with other species of closely related organisms. D) adaptations that organisms make to the environment during their lifetimes.

Step 1
Over time, these advantageous traits can become more common in a population through natural selection. B) Movement to new environments can lead to evolutionary changes, but the changes themselves are not a direct result of the movement. Instead, the changes are a Show more…

Which of the following best explains why some species are able to survive major changes in the environment? A Some species have variation within their phenotypes, giving individuals an advantage for surviving change. B Some species are able to reproduce at a fast rate, creating large populations that ensure some individuals will survive. C Some species have identical genotypes, making them immune to change in the environment. D Some species are genetically similar, ensuring that they will reproduce offspring that will not change traits.

Which mechanism of evolution requires variation within populations to produce evolutionary change? A. Natural Selection B. Sexual Selection C. Genetic Drift D. Mutation Can have multiple answers please explain why
Suman K.
Evolution occurs: a) only when the environment is changing. b) only through natural selection. c) almost entirely because of directional selection. d) only via natural selection, genetic drift, migration, or mutation. e) by altering physical traits but not behavioral traits.
