Answer:

B

Explanation:

Natural selection works by selecting organisms that have unfavorable traits and killing them. However, if all the hydras are identical(from asexual reproduction), then there is no single organism that has a favorable trait over another.

Answer: B) No, there is no genetic variation upon wich natural selection can operate.

Explanation: Natural selection could not occur if there was no genetic diversity amongst species. All individuals of this population are genetically identical. In this case, the only way natural selection could occur is if one of the offspring experiences a genetic mutation, which would introduce genetic diversity into the population.

Therefore, it is not possible for this population to undergo natural selection because there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.

Answer:

Osteon

Explanation:

Bone tissue may be of two types; compact bone tissue that form the outer hard covering of bones and spongy bone tissue that form inner soft portion of bone. Osteon are found in compact bone.

Osteons are cylindrical structures composed from clustre of Osteocytes and layers of extracellular matrix around a central canal connected by canaliculi for the transportation of blood. The haversian canal is surrounded by lamella that comprises the osteon. Osteons run parallel to long axis of bones and present in bones of many mammals, reptiles and birds. In some bones the stress or pressure in applied from few directions and osteons are aligned in that direction so they provide protection from bone bending or fracturing from compressive forces.
