Answer:
C. Evolution is a change of allele frequency from one generation to the next
Explanation:
Evolution is the gradual change that occurs to living organisms over successive generations. According to Charles Darwin, these changes aid in the adaptation of the species of an organism to their environment. In other words, it makes them better fit.
Charles Darwin further stated that since evolution is dependent on natural selection i.e selection of the best fit by environmental factors, the changes that the organism undergo are genetic. Hence, evolution is a change of allele frequency from one generation to the next.
Epilepsy is treated successfully with medication in a
majority of patients. However, the dosages needed to completely eliminate
seizures may cause intolerable side effects. Neurosurgery is indicated only for
patients in whom medication therapy is unsuccessful. Our goal is to reduce your
seizures to an extent that helps you live a normal life."
A variable that depends on something else
All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of beneficial DNA mutations.
Beneficial genetic (DNA) mutations are result in individuals with special characteristics that allow them to survive better in the environment so they pass their genes to the next generation.
Here's a fictional example I made just for you!: Lets say you have an alien species called Hibas. They are jelly blobs that float around, don't move, and open their mouths to capture neon shrimps that happen to swim into their mouths. But one day a certain Hiba developed some muscles through a genetic mutation. It was able to "wiggle" through the water and steer itself instead of floating around. This allowed it to eat more neon shrimp than the other Hibas, so it grew faster and was able to reproduce faster. It's kids also had muscles and had an advantage so they reproduced faster then the other Hibas. Eventually the whole Hiba species started to have muscles because the ones that didn't weren't able to compete and did not survive as well.
The reason that most of the Hibas developed muscles was because one of them had a mutation that allowed it to have muscles. This was a BENEFICIAL mutation that allowed it to SURVIVE BETTER.
