A box full of feathers and the same size box full of rocks. They occupy the same volume but have a different mass.
(A 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter cube box full of feathers.
A 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter cube box full of rocks.)
Cells are the smallest unit of life
Punctuated equilibrium occur when the environment is rapidly changing eliminate.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
Punctuated equilibrium generally occurs when a sudden massive change occurs in the regular stream. The organisms are forced to adapt themselves to the new environment at the earliest and this process is induced to maintain the equilibrium.
This is the reason why you find an abrupt change in the species without undergoing slow morphological changes. Hence no intermediate forms can be found if you would examine the fossils. Hence to conclude when a species under rapid change to evolve itself to suit the environment it is punctuated equilibrium.
The correct option is this: NATURAL SELECTION FAVOR G6PD DEFICIENCY AS COMPARED TO MALARIA.
As we are told in the passage given above, G6DP enzyme helps the red blood cells to function very well. So those people who lack this enzyme have red blood cells that are not functioning very well and this usually result in heamolytic aneaemia. Remember that the parasite that cause malaria normally need red blood cells to survive, thus, for people who lack G6DP malaria can not survive in their blood. Since lack of G6DP enzyme mostly occur in people of African origin where mosquitoes abound, researchers believe that the lack of G6DP enzyme in these people red blood cells is a natural selection method by which the body is preventing itself from been attacked by mosquitoes.
