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.

Why is nitrogen so important to plants
Pachacha [2.7K]
Nitrogen is so vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide (i.e., photosynthesis). It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

What would most likely happen to a native predator species if a nonnative predator species were introduced to an area?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

B. The native species population would decrease because the nonnative species would be competing for food sources.

Explanation:

This question is describing the effect of invasive species. Invasive species are foreign species i.e. not native to a habitat or area, introduced into the area with the ability to outcompete and negatively affect the native species of that area.

Invasive species compete with the native species for food, space, mate etc., and tend to outgrow them. Hence, if a nonnative predator (invasive) species were introduced to an area, the native predator species in that area would decrease because the nonnative species would be competing for food sources.
