Answer:

Genes.

Explanation:

Genes are present on DNA that are inherited from parents to their offspring. Genes may be defined as the segment of DNA that ultimately form a particular protein product.

The particular trait of an organism is determined by the specific combination of the inherited genes. The genes are nearly same in all the human beings and there mutation can cause observable phenotype traits.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

Answer:

Plate boundary zones.

Explanation:

Plate boundary zones are the interaction between adjoining plates where they clash, pull separated or slide past each other.

These newly created zones can be a long stretch from few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers.

It is the movement between two plates and the distortion that come about in the boundaries of the zone between the plates, which has given birth to New Zealand's geography which we see it today.

The distortion and mashing caused by the hit of the two great plates have created mountain ranges throughout the country.

miss Akunina [59]

Hi, the given question is incomplete, it is missing a diagram, the diagram is given in the attachment below,

Answer:

The correct answer is adaptive evolution.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, it is clear that it best illustrates the phenomenon of adaptive evolution. It is known that different species of finches exhibit an ancestor, which is common, however, all the species have shown adaptation based on the kind of food they are getting within their surroundings.

The evolutionary modifications that arise by getting adaptive to the specific environment are termed as adaptive evolution. These changes arise due to the phenomenon of natural selection, which further enhances the tendency of reproducing or survivorship after going through some of the challenges presented by the surroundings.

A malaria outbreak causing allele frequencies to change is an example of

Nina [5.8K]

<span>This would be an example of a mutation, because the changing of allele frequencies would be a change within the gene itself, which would be a mutation in the DNA. This is evidenced by the fact that there is now a form of human resistance to malaria, due to changes within human DNA itself.</span>
