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.

Explain how mitosis ensures genetic continuity from cell to cell in an organism
frosja888 [35]
<span>In comparison, mitosis occurs more in your body since it changes, modifies and requires cell division at maximum rate in many useful situations with the stand to a particular system and organ. Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. Take for instance your integumentary system, layer of the skin in which your stratum basale always produces new epithelial cells (via mitosis) to take over until the outer layer, called stratum corneum (a continous replaced dead cells in this layer). </span>
