Answer:

D. a wide variety of gradual and sudden changes to ecosystems

Explanation:

There have been different global climatic changes throughout the history of planet earth. The changes have been gradual or abrupt and have been due to various causes, such as those related to changes in orbital parameters, precession , variations in solar radiation, continental drift, periods of intense volcanism, meteorite impacts etc. Some changes to the ecosystems related to climatic changes are, for example,The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction (which probably caused the extinction of the dinosaurs), the contraction of the forests during the last glacial maximum promoting biological diversification, the melting of the polar caps increasing sea level etc.

Morgarella [4.7K]

A person's original chromosomes and their component genes constitute that person's genotype (Option a is correct).

<h3>What is a genotype?</h3>

A genotype can be defined as the genes and their variant (alleles) contian in a given nucleotide sequence of DNA, which can be represented by a linear chromosome.

The genotype may contain only a few genes in small chromosomes (e.g., plasmids) or many genes in linear human chromosomes (over more than 1000 genes).

In conclusion, a person's original chromosomes and their component genes constitute that person's genotype carried out by the individual and his/her cells (Option a is correct).

Behaviors which sacrifice reproductive success or even survival can
BlackZzzverrR [31]
This is known as kin selection.

Behaviors which increase the reproductive success of genetic relatives increase the inclusive fitness of the individuals. If you have discussed Hamilton’s rule, recall that an allele will rise in frequency in the population over time if rb > c. Where r is the relatedness coefficient (to the relative benefitting from the behavior), b is the additional offspring that the relative has, and c is the personal offspring that are lost.
