The correct option is (b) There is variation in inherited traits.

Darwin made the following observations that informed his theory of natural selection: Overproduction, Variation, Selection, Survivors.

<h3>What were the darwins observation?</h3>
  • The first observation is overproduction. This shows that every species has more offspring than will grow up to be adults. Think about all the fish eggs that are produced every year.
  • This suggests that organisms should constantly reproduce, but they do not because mechanisms like food competition, predators, and disease exist to limit population growth.
  • Darwin was able to infer from this that there is a struggle for existence.
  • Darwin's second finding was variation. This suggests that members of the same species exhibit a range of features. For instance, the pattern and color of the stripes on zebras vary. Scales on goldfish might be entirely gold, entirely orange, entirely brown, or a mix of all three.

Answer:

You didn't give options to choose from so I'll just wing it.

Over-predation will most likely be the cause of the extinction of the butterflies

What do you call the end of a straw wrapper that a waiter leaves on your straw when serving your drink?
daser333 [38]

The waiter tears the raised part of the straw wrapper a few inches from either end and he pulls until a piece of the wrapper is entirely removed. The exposed part of the straw is what is then placed in the drink, leaving the remaining wrapper for the customer to remove himself. This will assure the customer that the waiter has not touched the straw with bare hands. The part of the straw that has remained is called a straw lace, or a drinking straw sleeve or a strawphylactic.

Answer:

The Golgi complex is compromised      

Explanation:  

The Golgi complex helps in the process of synthesis and packaging of proteins and lipids, especially those proteins that are for exportation. The organelle´s function is to manage the recently synthesized proteins, to transform them, and to export them to other places.

Different proteins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and sent to the Golgi complex in vesicles, where it happens the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. Finally, protein is transported from the Golgi complex to its final destiny. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organ. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.

By being affected by the achondrogenesis 1a, the Golgi complex loses its functions and is incapable of finishing the protein synthesis and transport process, affecting other cells and their functions.
