__________ ____________ is a mechanism that explains changes in a population that occur when organisms with favorable variations for that particular environment?
1 Answer
Natural selection
Explanation:
Natural selection will cause poorly adapted variations to become extinct. Natural selection does not cause the occurrence of favorable mutations or variations. Natural selection only removes the variations that are not well adapted to the changing environment.
Natural selection is totally inadequate for the explanation of Darwinian evolution. Descent with variation requires changes or the creation of new variations with new and novel information. Natural selection can not create variations.
Experiments done on fruit flies since the early 1900s have failed to produce any mutations that have more informations the native population of fruit flies. Anti biotic resistance has been shown to result from a loss of genetic information Mutations have failed to provide any variations that have more information than the population started with. Mutations can not create variations that are more complex than the native population.
