3. any trait that confers even a small increase in the probability that its possessor will survive and reproduce will be strongly favored and will spread through the population.
Explanation:
- Natural selection is a nonrandom process by which biological traits become more or less common in a population as a function of the differential reproduction of their bearers of differences in the rate of survival.
- Natural selection can act on any heritable phenotypic trait and operate among any entities that reproduce, show inheritance of their characteristics from one generation to the next, and vary in fitness.
- Natural selection is the machine that drives evolution. It also explains adaptation.
Remember that a controlled variable is a variable that stays the same thoughout the experiment.
it wouldn't be a. because two different wires were used
the final length of the wax would be your dependent variable, so it wouldn't be c.
the thermal conductivity is the independent variable so it isn't d.
the original length of the wax was the same for both.
So B is your answer.
Processes that are most important to human life are oxygen, required for cellular respiration, and glucose, a form of sugar that releases energy during cellular respiration.
b. False with a synthetic verison
