The uniqueness of individual offspring for many animals and plants is the result of a process called Meiosis.
During meiosis , the number of chromosomes in parent cell are reduced by half and produces four gamete cells.
Later
on, these chromosomes are mixed into the new offspring, causing it
carried out some characteristic from its parents and became a new unique
individual.

Answer: Most of the beetles will be brown because they have a higher likelihood of reaching reproductive age.
Natural selection is the process of selection by nature in which an individual organism exhibiting more favorable phenotypic characteristics has more chances of survival and reproduction in it's corresponding environment.
In the new environment, brown beetles can camouflage themselves from predators better than the green beetles and blue beetles can. This is because of the fact that brown color of beetle is a better phenotypic trait which favors the survival of brown beetles over green and blue color. Therefore, the survived brown beetles will reproduce and grow in number.
B. the rate will decrease. plants need carbon dioxide
The
correct answer is reverse transcriptase.
<span>
Reverse
transcriptase is an enzyme used to generate complementary DNA (cDNA) from an
RNA. This enzyme is often inserted together with eukaryotic mRNA into bacteria,
so that mRNA could be inserted into the bacteria's genome.</span>
• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.
Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.
• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.
Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species. Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.
• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.
The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.
• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.
Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.
