Answer:

b. the fittest organisms are selected for.

Explanation:

Natural selection is nothing more than an evolutionary mechanism that is based on the survival and differential reproduction of individuals in a population. It is often said that natural selection selects the most fit organism to live in a given environment. For this reason, we can say that among the options given in the question above, the one that best summarizes the concept of natural selection is "the fittest organisms are selected for".

Correct answer: B). The fittest organisms are selected for.

The theory of Natural selection is given by Charles Darwin, according to it,  the natural selection is the process in which the organism that is more suited are selected by the natural selection and they are most likely to survive and reproduce in order to pass these traits to the next generation.

The organism with the highest survival and reproduction will be those whose genes best represented in the next generation. Natural selection occurs to cause evolution and select the fittest.

Hi

It is true that on the Galapagos islands Darwin observed tortoises with a dome and saddle shaped shells, you can see both in attached image.

Darwin observed that Galapagos Tortoises had the shells with different shapes depending on the Island they live, For example: The tortoises with saddle shaped shells were able to reach up to eat leaves of plants while the tortoises with dome shaped shells would not reach up and they would eat food from on ground sources. This made him think that the differences in tortoise shell is also a strong evidence that indicates that how tortoises have adapted themselves to better get their food as per the available resources and how they have evolved from same ancestral specie into two different species. This point also helped him in proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Hope it helps!

How fertilization occur in flowering plant​
Ghella [55]
Answer: For flowering plants, fertilization occurs through a process known as double fertilization. Unlike most plants, double fertilization enables the new seed to grow into a new plant and have a food source to begin growing. Double fertilization occurs within the female part of a plant, the pistol.

explanation: When pollen is formed by the anther, or male part of a plant, it will blow in the wind or attach to an organism that carries it to the top of the pistol, known as the stigma. Once the pollen attaches to the stigma, the pollen germinates and forms a pollen tube that extends into the ovary. Once formed, two sperm cells will be released and fertilize both the egg and the two polar nuclei of the plant to form the zygote and endosperm, respectfully.
