Is natural selection the only means of evolution?

Answer:

No, since animals living in isolation will all eventually interbreed and become another different species, even if all of them start out the same.

Answer:

No, don't forget about genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow.

Explanation:

Genetic drift - when a smaller population gets sectioned off from the rest (maybe they move to an island or something) and the disparity in allele frequencies is just compounded. For example, if 100 people move to an island to have a population, and 50 of them have an eye disorder, they might evolve into a species with natural eye disorders... whoa!

Mutation - when an error occurs in the actual process of DNA exchange in meiosis (or the forming of a new organism). This is rare, because most mutations are lethal.

Gene flow - if two populations get separated by some factor and there's no "gene flow," or exchange of alleles, they may diverge into separate species and evolve newly!

There's also non-random mating, if you want to get into that. It basically just changes the equilibrium so that allele frequencies don't stay the same, which can create evolution.

How is cancer related to mutations? How is it related to the cell cycle?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Cancer is related to the cell cycle bc, cancer cells mutate. Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by making cell division rates go up faster or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor

Explanation:

hope this helps, good luck!! :)

Cual es la diferencia entre un ecosistema y un bioma??
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Un ejemplo de ecosistema es un estanque. Todos los seres vivos del estanque (ranas, peces, bacterias, plantas acuáticas, etc.) se consideran factores bióticos. Los factores abióticos del ecosistema del estanque incluirían todos los factores no vivos (agua, luz, oxígeno disuelto, nitratos, etc.) que se encuentran en el estanque.  Un bioma es una colección de ecosistemas diferentes que comparten condiciones climáticas similares. El noreste de Minnesota es un bioma de bosque de coníferas. En esta región del estado de Minnesota encontrará ecosistemas de estanques, bosques, ríos y arroyos, etc.
