Biotic Factors are any living components that affect other organisms, and since soil is not alive (soil is an abiotic factor) then you can eliminate A., B., and C. D is the answer choice that has only biotic examples.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
Answer:
All options
Explanation:
Got it wrong said this was right
Answer:
The correct answer is b. must be present in a population before natural selection can act upon the population
Explanation:
Genetic variation can be caused by mutation, recombination between chromosomes during meiosis and by fusion of two genetically different gametes during sexual reproduction.
This genetic variation is necessary for the evolution of any population. Natural selection acts on every individual and it decreases the frequency of those alleles that are not suited for the environment and increase the frequency of those alleles which helps the individual to survive in the changing environment.
Therefore genetic variation must be present in the population before natural selection act on the.
