What are the answer choices?
From a modern genetic perspective, this is defined as evolution.
An organism can "make a living" and survive in its niche.
There are several ways selection can affect population variation:
stabilizing selection
directional selection
diversifying selection
frequency-dependent selection
sexual selection
As natural selection influences the allele frequencies in a population, individuals can either become more or less genetically similar and the phenotypes displayed can become more similar or more disparate. In the end, natural selection cannot produce perfect organisms from scratch, it can only generate populations that are better adapted to survive and successfully reproduce in their environments through the aforementioned selections.
Hope it helped, much love
The jokester, hehe
A long reflexive pathway has an advantage over a short reflexive pathway in the fact that they can be also be stimulated by the central nervous system, whereas the short reflexive pathway is only stimulated by the enteric nervous system.
