Answer:

Alkanes

Explanation:

There are 3 classes of hydrocarbons based on the on the presence of single, double and triple bond present in them. These classes are mentioned as under:

1) alkanes

2)alkenes

3)alkynes

Alkanes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by single bond. Their general formula is CnH2n+2 that means if in an alkane n = 3 then it will have 3 carbon and 2n+2 = 8 hydrogen molecules.

Alkenes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by double bond. Their general formula is CnH2n.

Alkynes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by triple bond. Their general formula is CnH2n-2.

As explained above, the given hydrocarbon is an alkane because its chemical formula is C3H8 which satisfies the condition for formula CnH2n+2 which is valid for alkanes.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

la selección natural es el mecanismo principal por el cual la evolución ocurre

Explanation:

Charles Darwin fue un naturalista inglés que propuso la teoría de la evolución o 'descendencia con modificación' mediante el mecanismo de selección natural. Acorde a esta teoría, la selección natural se define como el mecanismo selectivo de reproducción diferencial de los individuos mejor adaptados a su ambiente. La variabilidad es el la materia prima sobre la cual la selección natural actúa, seleccionado aquellos individuos que presentan combinaciones fenotípicas y genotípicas más adaptadas para sobrevivir en un ambiente en particular. Los individuos de una población que son 'superiores adaptativamente' poseen más chances de sobrevivir y reproducirse, y por lo tanto tienen también más probabilidades de transmitir sus genes a la siguiente generación.
