Natural selection is the process by which an organism uses its traits to survive and reproduce. In this mechanism of evolution, organisms have favorable traits for survival and reproduction. The more adapted an organism is to its environment, the more likely it is to have heritable traits that are passed down to new coming offsprings, and really, this also applies for the likeliness of the organism to survive and reproduce in general. The more these heritable traits are passed down and used with offspring, the more common the favorable traits are in the community.
The ability of muscle to shorten forcibly when adequately stimulated is known as <u>contractility.</u>
Explanation:
- Contractility is defined as the ability of muscle cells to contract forcefully to bring about movement in body organs.
- The folding of arms are results of contractility of biceps and triceps.
- Contractility of cardiac muscle to regulate pumping of heart is again a result of contractility of myocardial muscle.
