The correct statements are 1, 2, and 5 as they explain the adaptations that mussels developed to prevent their extinction and how this aided them in natural selection.
Crabs are omnivores. The smaller crabs can eat seaweed, worms, shrimp, algae, etc while the larger ones can eat mussels, snails, and squid. Crabs can change their feeding grounds because of environmental changes. Mussels being the prey of crabs were forced the development of new traits to ensure their survival. They started to produce thicker shells. This allowed the mussels with thicker shells to survive as they would not get eaten by the crabs, thus undergoing natural selection. The development of said trait improved the survival rate of mussels and prevented them from going extinct due to predation.
Note: The question seems to be incomplete and the options could have been
- "A change in the environment led to a new distribution of traits in a population.
- The trait of shell thickening underwent natural selection.
- The trait for shell thickening will not be selected by future mussel generations.
- Half of the mussel population developed the trait while the other half did not.
- Mussels with the shell thickening trait had a greater chance of survival."

Answer:
They should not it is as simple as that however this is an opion based question.
Explanation:
Why your born with what your born with and changing that is not being true to yourself. Also whats the point
Scientists often perform experiments to check and recheck their work. They also redo these experiments to ensure correct results.
The Calvin cycle (also known as the Calvin–Benson cycle) is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent because it takes place after the energy has been captured from sunlight.
