A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.
Explanation:
The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.
Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.
It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.
The complete question is :
The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.
A) whether there is simultaneous migration of herbivores
B) their tolerance to shade
C) their seed dispersal rate
D) their size
Answer: The seed dispersal rate
Explanation:
The seed dispersal can be defined as the movement of the seeds away from the parent plant. The ability of the plant to extend is completely dependent on the ability of the plant to disperse its seeds.
Plants have very limited ability, they need vectors to carry its seed from one place to another.
The biotic and abiotic vector both are involved in carrying the seeds which helps in expansion of the trees.
hence, the correct answer is option C
Answer:
the drive-reduction theory
Explanation:
The drive-reduction theory is one of the theories of motivation.
This theory contains the idea that a physiological need creates a drive, which in turn motivates an organism to satisy their need.
The theory targets homeostasis or biological balance.
When there is a need such as lack of water, the need would cause a drive to be developed (thirst).
The drive would activate a response (search for water to drink).
The response is then terminated when the need has been satisfied.

A
B is wrong because mitochondria would likely absorb the stain even if it was dead.(And most cells that have been treated are dead anyway). C and D are just throwaway answers, you usually want to avoid the word "always" when drawing conclusions.
