How the process of natural selection canexplainhow evolution occurs?

In natural selection, there are three main things you need to know. There must be a variance in the genepool of course, or else to selection or evolution will take place. There also must be a selective force and time. Now, lets say that there is a population of many colored moths. But lets say that the brown colored moth blends in with the environment. This means that predators (selective force in this case) will have a much harder time finding these brown moths instead of easily finding some of the other colored moths (variation). This means that the brown moths will survive at a much higher rate because the are harder to find, and over time, the gene pool will narrow down to just brown moths because the rest of the moths die out due to predators and competition. This also means that this moth species has evolved over time to just become the brown colored moths only. Hope you can understand this but feel free to ask for clarification.

Peter and Rosemary Grant observed a small group of the large ground finches that colonized Daphne Major in the Galápagos Islands
erica [24]

Answer:

1) Founder effect and genetic drift: Small colonizing population did not represent the original gene pool of the source population and was more likely to undergo genetic drift.

2) Natural selection

Explanation:

Evolution of the population of the finches with larger beaks might have occurred due to one of the following mechanisms:

a) Founder effect and genetic drift: Since the size of the colonizing population was small, it did not carry all the genes and their alleles present in the gene pool of the original population. The small population size made it more likely to evolve by any chance event.  

b) Natural selection: The availability of different food types in the new habitat led to the natural selection of the larger beaks as the finches with larger beaks might have been able to better exploit the available food resources.

after the brain receives information from the body's sensory receptors, what is the next step in responding to this information?
Bumek [7]

The sensory receptors refer to the portions of the nervous system, which sense variations in the external or internal surroundings. The sensory input can be in various forms, comprising taste, pressure, light, sound, pH of blood, or levels of hormones, which are transformed into a signal and are transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.  

In the sensory centers of the brain, the barrage of information is integrated and a response is produced. The response, that is, a motor output refers to a signal conducted towards organs via motor neurons, which then transforms the signal into some kind of action, like changes in heart rate, movement, discharge of hormones, and others.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

e) Political governance.  

b) Health.

d) Personal activities, including work.

c) Education.

f) Social recreation issues.

g) Environmental conditions (current and future conditions).

a) Material life

h) Financial safety and security.

Explanation:

The quality of life is an index that is calculated by using different estimators that covers diverse aspects of human life such as, among others health, safety, happiness, security, transportation, etc. The INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography, Mexico) calculates the quality of life by using the estimators above described (and others). In my opinion, the most important one of this list is political governance, because it is an underlying characteristic that has a direct effect on the further estimators, thereby affecting their performance in a short/medium-term period.
