How would you explain Darwin's mechanism for evolution called "natural selection"?

Natural selection is the process by which an organism uses its traits to survive and reproduce. In this mechanism of evolution, organisms have favorable traits for survival and reproduction. The more adapted an organism is to its environment, the more likely it is to have heritable traits that are passed down to new coming offsprings, and really, this also applies for the likeliness of the organism to survive and reproduce in general. The more these heritable traits are passed down and used with offspring, the more common the favorable traits are in the community.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

It is expected that the mutation helps the enzyme to bind to the vitamin, and this interaction may be necessary to maintain the activated state of the enzyme.

Explanation:

The NADH dehydrogenase converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) from its reduced form (NADH) to the oxidized NAD+, thereby this enzyme is required for generating ATP by electron transport.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

First the proprioceptors found in the tissues will capture tissue damage and the presence of a continuity solution in the skin, then these receptors will activate the afferent pathway, which is the pathway of pain, which is sensory.

This stimulus that ascends to the central nervous system activates the "flight" mechanism in the face of pain (it is also known as the withdrawal mechanism).

It is in this way that a stimulation is sent to the alpha motor neuron in the form of an action potential as an efferent pathway to the skeletal muscles of the foot and the damaged leg, so that an automatic and involuntary muscle contraction is generated in a matter of millisemas of second after the damage, so the foot is removed from the damage area.

Explanation:

The withdrawal mechanism is a reflex that the human acquires before pain, that is why it is the muscular contraction is automatic and fast once the pain occurs.

So as a summary: 1 - the proprioceptors of the damaged tissue are activated 2- the signal of tissue damage rises as afferent to the CNS 3- the CNS responds by activating a signal that will be sent by interneuronal connections to the alpha motor neuron 4- the signal arrives as potential of action to the alpha motor neuron that innervates the muscles of the surrounding area to which it is damaged 5 - the muscles contract, generating the withdrawal of the limb.
