Darwin reasoned that natural selection organisms had adapted to new environments, giving rise to new species. It is a principle of speciation.

<h3>Speciation, natural selection and environment</h3>

Different environmental pressures (e.g. the type of food) lead to different evolutionary pathways in genetically related organisms.

The organisms subject to different environments evolve as a consequence of natural selection in order to adapt (adjust) to their corresponding environments.

In consequence, this process may eventually lead to speciation due to the emergence of reproductive isolation barriers.

To test for the presence of starch, iodine can be used. A positive reaction results in a black color. A dialysis bag filled with
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Diffusion.

Explanation:

According to the information given before the example in the question and considering the fact that the bag was secured on both ends before being placed in the solution, provided that there were no holes on the surface of the bag, the iodine solution could have diffused through the bag into the starch solution hence the color change to black after 30 minutes.

I hope this answer helps.
