Field mice in beach mice are closely related species. The Field mice are various shades of brown in the beach mice or later 10 a
wariber [46]

Answer:

The process of natural selection is acting on <u>Field mouse individuals</u> where as evolution is occurring on <u>Field Mouse population. </u>

Explanation:

As the problem shows, the field mice are the ones that natural selection is acting on, but only the ligher shade ones. Because the lighter shade individuals are more likely to survive in the beach because they blend with the environment.

Evolution occurred on the field mouse population because if you read the script in the end, they were able to successfully reproduce. This means that they evolved in such a way that they were able to survive in their new environment. (most likely carrying on the trait of light-colored fur)

Natural selection acts on traits, phenotypic traits, favorable to the environment. Evolution occurred because of the natural selection, because the favored trait enabled the organism to adapt to the environment.

why is it a good idea for a bacterial cell to be abel to use glucose first as an energy source then switch to lactose
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Due to less steps and requires less energy.

Explanation:

The bacterial cell is able to use glucose first as an energy source then switch to lactose because glucose requires less steps and less amount of energy for the break down as compared to lactose. If lactose is the only sugar available to the bacterial cells, then bacterial cells will use it as energy source for the production of energy. In order to use lactose, the bacteria must express the lac operon genes, which encode the main enzymes for lactose uptake and metabolism.
