This was a major breakthrough in geology because it meant that sedimentary strata in diverse parts of a country or area could be correlated as belonging to the same formation which means they were formed at the same time historically so helped to put them in the correct sequence. If these strata contained valuable minerals like coal then it could aid in the search for coal. This helped William 'Strata' Smith in England to create his first geological map in the world of a whole country.
B. Population is the answer
There are several ways selection can affect population variation:
stabilizing selection
directional selection
diversifying selection
frequency-dependent selection
sexual selection
As natural selection influences the allele frequencies in a population, individuals can either become more or less genetically similar and the phenotypes displayed can become more similar or more disparate. In the end, natural selection cannot produce perfect organisms from scratch, it can only generate populations that are better adapted to survive and successfully reproduce in their environments through the aforementioned selections.

Answer:
The cells of the wings contain more mitochondria compared to the insect body
Explanation:
The cells in the wings of an insect have more mitochondria compared to the cells of the insect body. Because the wings require more energy for their movement then rest of the body.The insects primary mode of locomotion are the wings the cells of muscle help to move that's why the wings cells contain more number of mitochondria than the body.
