C) it absorbs water hope that helps
<span>a. abiotic component</span><span>
An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system. </span>
The correct answer is option C, Mutations have arisen that may have altered allele frequencies
There have been several instances where mutation in the gene of an insect is caused due to the harmful external environmental condition which are either created or occurs naturally. Usually, the organisms evolve themselves to sustain in an adverse environment condition. In the process of evolution, they go through the process of positive genetic mutation but sometimes the mutation may also produce negative effect on the DNA of an species through wrong or inefficient pairing/coding. Here in this case it can be stated that the chemical sprayed on insects might have attacked the gene pool of the insects thereby producing adverse genetic mutation.
Answer:
abiogenesis
Explanation:
a (not) biogenesis (coming from other life forms)
Biogenesis would mean that it's coming from other life forms,
Natural selection is a part of evolution (what is there to select?)
Variation is also a part of evolution (not related)
