Which things need to be present for natural selection to take place? (select all that apply)

Biology
1 answer:
Sati [7]3 years ago

Answer:

A & C

Explanation:

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.

YES - A) You must have variation in the population, typically in the terms of "fitness" or having admirable/sucessful traits that make them more likely to reproduce and ensure their own offspring are fit too.

NO - B) It is sexual (not asexual) reproduction that uses natural selection for their offspring. Although some asexual organisms use natural selection, it is ALWAYS used if possible with natural selection to ensure the fitness of characteristics is passed down.

YES - C) Competition is necessary for natural selection to occur. When those who are more physically fit compete, they are more likely to live against their opponent and therefore pass on the trait of fitness.

NO - D) Although resources are necessary, large amounts are not as it does not lead to fighting over them (scarcity) bringing us back to the need for competition above.

Hope this helped!

<h2>When too walk your dog you are using energy from the sunlight to power this activity</h2>

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy in the ecosystem is the sun. When we take our dog for a walk, we are utilizing energy stored in our body that we obtained food. We must have obtained that from either plants or animals. The animal in turn must have obtained its food from plant. Plants are the organisms in the food chain who can convert the energy from the sun into the chemical energy. So, we can say that when we walk our dog we use energy from the sunlight to power this activity.
