Answer:

Explanation:

Mutation is the word used to describe the heritable change in genetic makeup of an organism. This change in turns may help with adaptation for survival or be a disadvantage to the organism in its environment.

Natural selection is a concept in evolutionary biology that describes the process by which heritable traits are confered for survival and reproductive advantage to individuals. It also focus on how related individuals, tend to be passed on changes in traits to succeeding generations and how this trait become more frequent in a population while also observing how other less favourable traits and weak individuals tend to become eliminated from the environment.

Choosing two examples from the above;

• For instance, having large bodies and dark fur serves the purpose to camouflage, for mimicry, and big animals' body parts for agility in competition and colour helps to cover themselves. All these mutations that increases body size and changes the fur color are for physical adaptations.

If there is a change in this features the animals are easily exposed and may not survive.

• Some specific parts of the body of variety of animals are adapted to survival as the environment changes. Among such features are having sharp claws and sharp teeth. A mutation like this provides the animal with body structure that is adapted to survival. Without these features feeding and catching preys for some omnivores and carnivores would be almost impossible reducing the population size.

• Having body structure like dull teeth and hooves are adapted for the survival of terrestrial leaves grazers. Hooves makes running faster and escaping from predators easy. Dull teeth however makes grass cutting for ruminant animal easy.

In the occurrence of forest fire the hooves animals can escape easily, the big bodied animals will be disadvantaged. When the weather or climate changes mimicry / camouflage fur is will be disadvantaged.

How do eukaryotic plant and animal cells differ from one another?
Ber [7]

Answer:

The eukaryotic plant animal cells are differ having some cell organelles in it.

Explanation:

The first difference is the cell wall, which is present in all eukaryotic plants. It gives shape and rigidity to the plants. But all the animal cell the outer covering is cell membrane. They lack cell wall.

All the plant cell have chlorophyll pigment. It helps them to photosynthesis. In animal cell, chlorophyll molecule are absent. So they depend on plants for their food.

The eukaryotic plant cell more space is occupied by the vacuoles. It stores food and water for the plants. However, animal cells have no vacuole or if present, it is very small in size.

All animal cells have lysosomes, which help in digestion of various materials in the cell. Plants does not contain lysosomes.

Besides this organelles all other structure of plant and animals are similar. They both have nucleus, DNA, cytoplasm, mitochondria, etc.

natita [175]

The scientific definition of evolution refers to changes in a species or population over time.

Evolution is a long-term process. It may take millions of years and several generation for an evolution to occur. The cause of evolution can be genetic as well as environmental. The evolution is a result of mutation. Evolution generally gives rise to new species, that is different from its ancestral population.

Population is a group of similar type of organisms.  These organisms live in the same habitat, require same resources and have same kind of habits. The most essential criteria that defines a population is that the organisms of a population can mate with each other and produce offspring.
