The process that Darwin described as "descent with modification" is the process of evolution.

"Descent with modification" is one of the fundamental ideas behind Darwin's theory of evolution. According to Darwin, the characteristics of an organism are inherited. Offspring with inherited characteristics which allows them to compete best with the limited resources in the environment will survive. Organisms will pass the traits providing an advantage to survive and reproduce to the next generations. Over time and generations, the traits providing reproductive advantage will become common among the polpulation. This will lead to change in populations over generations in a process called the "descent with modification".

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<u>Uranium</u> is the  inner transition metals is critical to the nuclear power industry.

Explanation:

Uranium is a common transition metal found in rocks and is used for nuclear fission reactions. In a nuclear fission reaction, a neutron atom is hit on a uranium atom. As a result, the uranium atoms breaks down releasing huge amounts of energy. Also, more neutrons are released by the breakdown and hence the this neutron hits other uranium atoms and the cycle continues. The most active radioisotope of uranium being used in nuclear fission reactions is U-235.
