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.

What are the mechanisms of natural selection, and how do they lead to changes in
Nata [24]

Darwin's proposed mechanism for evolution is natural selection. Natural selection allows species to respond to their surroundings through time, or to become progressively excellently-suited. Natural selection is environmentally based and involves established heritable variation within a population.

They lead to changes in  species over time:

  • Darwin suggested species will evolve over time, new species originate from pre-existing species, and all species share a common ancestor with each other.
  • In this framework each organism has its own special set of heritable i.e genetic variations from the common ancestor that have slowly developed over very longer periods of time.
  • Parroted branching activities that isolate new species from a common ancestor create a multi-level tree that connects all living organisms.

What are some of the concerns associated with our increasing population and consumption of resources?
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

As human population increases the rate of consumption of resources also increases. Economists postulates that available resources with which to satisfy our unlimited wants as a population is highly limited.

  • Increase in population leads to an increasing pressure on available resources such as freshwater, land, air, energy e.t.c.
  • Increasing population easily leads to deforestation. Deforestation is the loss of forest. Forest trees are used in construction of houses and industries. Forests also takes up space and they might have to be plundered to make way for new buildings. Eventually, the forest will be lost.
  • Decrease in standard of living: increasing population will lead to a low standard of living. Resources meant to accommodate a certain number of people will no longer be sufficient for them.
  • High poverty rate; if population continues to rise, the rate of poverty will increase too. There will be limited resources to cater for the well being of the populace as a whole.

The antiparallel arrangement within DNA molecules refers to Select one:
mylen [45]

Answer:

c. one helix strand that runs from the 5' to 3' direction and the other strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction.

Explanation:

A DNA molecule has <em>two strands of nucleotides with a sugar phosphate backbone each, but orientated on the opposite direction </em>allowing for the base pairs to complement one another, making it a more stable structure. <em>When two biopolymers run parallel to each other but with opposite directionality (alignment) we have an antiparallel arrangement.</em>

I annexed an image of the DNA structure.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
