Choose the best explanation of the difference between evolution and natural selection. Question 7 options: A) Evolution is the i
dea that species change over time, and natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution takes place. B) Evolution is the idea that species change over time, and natural selection is the idea that nature changes over time. C) Natural selection is the idea that species change over time, and evolution is the idea that the species' food source also changes over time. D) Natural selection is the idea that species change over time, and evolution is the idea that our world changes over time.
The correct option here would be A. Evolution has to do with species changing over time while natural selection is a process that leads to evolution.
<h3>Evolution and natural selection</h3>
Evolution refers to the gradual changes to the morphological and or physiological characteristics of living organisms over time as a result of constantly trying to adjust to their environments.
Natural selection, on the other hand, refers to one of the processes through which evolution takes place. It refers to forces that select for or against traits in organisms.
The ability of some fish, like clownfish, to detect predators is decreased in more acidic waters. A sudden drop in pH can as cause medical issues, such as comas and seizures in oceanic life. Fish's skeletons are also sensitive to acidity, so their development may be impacted as well.
In DNA, A and T, also known as adenine and thymine pair together and G and C, also known as guanine and cytosine pair together due to the hydrogen bonds formed between the two bases.
