Natural selection relies on genetic variation. In any population of beetles, there are alleles for brown or green color. What ha

The correct order for natural selection can be summarized as:

1. Inherited variation: Individuals among the population exhibit inherited variation such as body color, body size, hair colors, voice properties, et cetera.

For example, the population of beetles: an equal number of green and brown beetles.

2. Competition: Organisms face the struggle for their survival.

For example, Natural habitat is in trees. Green leaves hide green beetles.  

The brown beetles are noticed by birds in the area.

Birds eat brown beetles.

3. Selection: It leads to differential reproduction, that is, the organisms with adaptive traits tend to survive and reproduce more.

For example, green beetles reproduce in greater number than brown beetles.

4. Adaptation: The organisms with survival traits tend to survive more and pass their traits to the future generation.

For example, more green beetles survive than brown beetles.

5. Evolution: The change in allele frequency of the population takes place.

For example, beetle population changes from brown and green to mostly green beetles.

Thus, the correct order would be:

1. The population of beetles: an equal number of green and brown beetles.

2. Natural habitat is in trees. Green leaves hide green beetles.  

3. The brown beetles are noticed by birds in the area.

4. Birds eat brown beetles.

5. Green beetles reproduce in greater number than brown beetles.

6. More green beetles survive than brown beetles.

7. Beetle population changes from brown and green to mostly green beetles

Plants, algae, and certain microbes harness what kind of energy to produce their own nutrients using photosynthesis?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Light energy from the sun.

Explanation:

Algae, plants and some bacteria such as cyanobacteria uses light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide and water to make organic molecules (sugars) to produce energy for growth. The by-product of this process in plants is oxygen and water vapour, released using the stomata (tiny openings in leaves).

What is CODIS? How does it work?
Vadim26 [7]

The Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) is the United States national DNA database created and maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. CODIS consists of three levels of information; Local DNA Index Systems (LDIS) where DNA profiles originate, State DNA Index Systems (SDIS) which allows for laboratories within states to share information, and the National DNA Index System (NDIS) which allows states to compare DNA information with one another.
