<u>Answer</u>: option B they have a random gene mutation that affects their fur colour.
<u>Explanation</u> :-
- <em>Variation</em> is the phenomena which occurs in all populations.
- These variations result in slight differences in the phenotypes of individuals .
- These variations only arise due to <em>random mutations </em>that arise in the individuals’ genome and then can be inherited by their offspring.
- There is always a probability of one particular trait to make the individuals survive better in the environment as compared to other trait.
- The individuals having the trait that helps them to survive better in the environment tend to survive more and leave more progeny. This is termed as <em>survival of the fittest</em>.
- Thus, according to the question it can be inferred that the dark fur colour arose due to a <em>random mutation </em>since it is the only source of variation. Since, in the given environmental conditions the mice having the dark fur colour were less susceptible to the predators they are better fitted to survive.
- The dark brown fur coat mice, survive better, leave more progeny and hence, increase their population with time. However, the orginal source of origin of this trait was a random mutation. Had this mutation not occured, the dark coloured fur mice would not have been there.
So, a <em>random gene mutation affecting the fur colour made the dark coloured mice first appear in the population.</em>
The type of reaction that build proteins from amino acids are dehydration reactions
Answer:
Patriotism or national pride is the feeling of love, devotion, and sense of attachment to a homeland or the country and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment to create a feeling of oneness among the people. This attachment can be a combination of many different feelings, language relating to one's own homeland, including ethnic, cultural, political or historical aspects.
No, since it is an island separate from the mainland Ecuador and has been uniquely isolated over the past several hundred thousand years, the species on the Galapagos Islands have had time to evolve differently and separately than those in Ecuador, leading to many different, diverse species on the Galapagos that don't exist in Ecuador
