The correct anser is option (A) During an especially cold winter, brown squirrels that had thick coats survived at higher rates than brown squirrels whose coats were not as thick.

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin. It is the differential survival and reproduction of individual due to the difference in the phenotype. Over time, this process results in populations which are better adapted to their environment as they tend to survive and produce new offspring.  The brown squirrels with thick coat survive at a higher rate than the brown sqirrels without the thick coat. Thick coat is a adaptation for survival in cold winters which are chosen over the other and allowed to reproduce.

The correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

Explanation:

Metallothionein is a group of cysteine-rich, small in size, and highly conserved proteins that bind to various metal ions and regulate their activity or toxicity in transcriptional level.

Metallothionein IIA is one of the metallothioneins that binds to heavy metal and helps cells to be protected from the toxicity of these heavy metals. These proteins are present in almost every eukaryotic organisms virtually. These proteins are highly induced to express highly in the present of heavy metals.

Thus, the correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

Bacteria in our gut help to protect us by crowding out some of their dangerous relatives that can cause disease. Other good bacteria have been used in medicine to create antibiotics, and others still are used in food production to make fermented foods (think sauerkraut, yogurt, kimchi and kombucha.)
