Zina [86]

Mussels are molluscans and are freshwater animals. The change in the environment led to new traits of mussels, it underwent natural selection and the thick shells have high chances of survival.

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection is a process of nature that eliminates the organism with less survival and unfit traits while selecting the organisms with better traits of survival in the altered conditions.

The arrival or the introduction of the crabs in the environment altered the previous habitat of the mussels and led to the adaptation of the better trait quality in the mussel species.

The trait of the thick shells underwent natural selection as they were favoured for the changed conditions. The mussel having thick shells have high chances of survival over thin-shelled mussels as the crab will find it hard to attack the thick-shelled mussels.

Therefore, option A. change in environment, option B. natural selection and option E. chances of survival are the correct statements.

Nana76 [90]
The investigators could distinguish human hair from animal hair by the patter of pigmentation and by the medullary index.
The pigmentation in human hairs is denser toward the cuticle, whereas in animal hair is denser toward the medulla. Human hairs are usually one colour throughout the whole length, while animal hairs may change colour suddenly.
The medulla in humans is thinner than in animals: the medullary index for human hairs is 0.33 or less; the medullary index for animal hairs is 0.5 or more.

Harrizon [31]
