What is evolution? How does natural selection affect the frequency of traits in a population?EvolutionEvolution happens overtime when a species changes or give rise to new and advanced species after many generations. This occurs when the various traits required for survival a...
Provide an example of natural selection, and explain how natural selection impacts the evolution process. To what extent has evolution by natural selection been simulated? How can natural selection of good mutations overcome the numerous non-lethal bad ones that do not...
Additionally, most parents prefer having a daughter and a son to having two sons, which further minimizes the possibility of sex selection on the firstborns. Empirical studies have shown that although sex selection was popular in China, the sex ratio of firstborns was close to the natural ...
The behavior of organisms can be subject to human induced selection such as that arising from fishing. Angling is expected to induce mortality on fish with bold and explorative behavior, which are behaviors commonly linked to a high standard metabolic rate. We studied the transgenerational response ...

Corporate investment efficiency (CIE) is an imperative factor influencing the smooth functioning and financial sustainability of an enterprise. The role of a firm life cycle on risk and performance fundamentals has been extensively explored in the litera
So what about adaptive evolution? Well, that’s the big question. And what we’ve seen here is that—rather surprisingly—simple mutation and selection (i.e. the mechanisms of natural selection) very often provide a dramatic shortcut for finding rules that do...

The expression of pigment is controlled by six main genes in the body, a genetic makeup that is largely determined by your parents and the generations that came before them. That’s how natural selection works; as small blips, errors, additions, and mutations to genetic structure occur, we ...
How does natural selection affect single-gene versus polygenic traits? How has natural selection resulted in convergent evolution? How has genetic drift affected human population? How does a gene pool change because of natural selection? How does natural selection explain convergent evolution?
