<span>Answer:
Mutations for advantageous traits are more likely to be passed on to the next generation.
Natural selection acts on traits.
Natural selection favors some mutations.

Natural selection is influenced by the various factors in the environment. In a forest that have many trees, a brown or green color will be helpful for camouflage. If an insect has a mutation that changes its color from yellow into brown or green color, it is more likely to survive because they are harder to catch. Those insects will reproduce and pass their trait. Mutation to blue or red color will not beneficial and </span>will be harder to <span>pass the natural selection.

Darwin realized that the often exquisite fit of species to their environment is primarily the result of
bagirrra123 [75]
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.

describe the key observations that showed blending inheritance did not explain the inheritance of discrete traits.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's conclusions disproved blending inheritance because when cross breeding, only one trait, which is the dominant trait, will be shown instead of a blend of both traits. For each gene, how many alleles are inherited from one parent? For each gene, one alleles is inherited from each parent
