The correct answer is B.
Genetic drift is one of the four evolutionary mechanisms. It changes the frequency by chance, aka at random.
For example. if you have 100 frogs in the population, 20 red, 20 green and 60 yellow, not all of the alleles are going to be passed down to the next generation because a portion of the population can be affected by a random event such as the flood. So, if the flood accidentally kills 20 red frogs, none of the offspring are going to be red by chance.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

b) Produce and store large numbers of white blood cells

Explanation:

The lymphatic system's primary role is to produce white blood cells. The main organs were these cells are produced are the bone marrow, the thymus, the spleen, and the lymph nodes, which are distributed in different parts of the body, such as our neck, armpits and near the groin. these organs produce and store white blood cells, that will circulate in the blood or will be in action when the blood is filtered in the spleen or lymphatic nodes.

Part 1 - Pick one abiotic factor and change it dramatically. (Example: remove it completely or increase it A lot)
zubka84 [21]
1. Water is abioitic and is needed by every living organism Soil is abioitic and is needed by plants Trees and other plants release water vapor from their leaves (a process called transpiration) that create humidity (which in turn influences how much rain falls in an area) The climate in an area influences the special adaptations that plants and animals have. For example: warm fur coats and thick layers of fat to keep warm in cold climates, animals in dry, hot climates (desert) have large ears to release heat and cool down. Biotic factors also influence abiotic factors. Animals produce waste (go to the bathroom) which in turn will become nutrients in the soil.
2. decrease heat will affect biotic factors, like animals, warmth.

Hope this helped :)
