Answer:

Charles Darwin

Explanation:

Natural selection, most famously proposed by Charles Darwin, states that when presented with an environmental challenge, some individuals in a species will develop adaptations to face these challenges. Successful individuals will be more likely to mate and their offspring will inherit these adaptive traits, and will continue to pass for generations.

In this sense, plants face the challenge of the cold. Those that adapt to the cold will survive and reproduce, those that can't adapt to the cold will die. Eventually, only plants that can tolerate the cold will survive.

The ________ division of the nervous system carries motor commands to muscles and glands.
taurus [48]

The answer is efferent division. The nervous system acts as an input-output system. The afferent nervous system conveys signals to the brain following a stimulus. After processing of the information, the brain sends out a signal in response. This response is carried by the efferent nerve to the requisite organ involved in the response.
