Answer:

d. All of the above exemplify the difference between a population and an individual.

Explanation:

A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in a particular geographical area and are able to interbreed. A population is described with respect to several features such as death and birth rates, age structure, density, dispersion, change in the population size due to density-dependent and density-independent factors and the survivorship curve.

These features are not exhibited by a particular individual. Natural selection also works at populations. The evolutionary forces act upon populations to change their allele and genotype frequencies. Therefore, populations are the unit of evolution and change genetically over time, not the individuals. Population ecology studies the size of a populations and the trends and causes of changes in the populations over time.

Answer:

Option B , Binding Energy

Explanation:

The energy in combining two nucleus is lost in binding them. This binding energy is too large that it causes significant loss of mass and is calculated using the Einstein’s theory of relativity.  

When two nucleons combine , mass defect is caused which leads to loss of mass associated with energy and therefore the mass of nucleus is less than the mass of nucleons.  

Hence, Option B is correct.
