Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.[1][2][3]
The discoverer of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.
Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya).
Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off. A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate. While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.
The answer is Climate change. It will take decades for the
coral reef to recover from the catastrophic climatic changes including El Nino
in 1997-98. Climate Change is the main and undeniable threats to the loss of
the corals. It has negative effects on coral populations in some ways. This
includes the Color Bleaching, Coral Disease, and Ocean Acidification.
Answer:
According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.

I hope this helps! :D
hi there
your answer to this is :
“any single identifiable source in the wild is source of pollution. it hurts animals if they eat it,caught in it, or gets cut by it too. Of this pollution from which pollutants are discharged, the toxic waste can really harm the place and cause polltions.
EXAMPLES:
- pipe
- a plastic bottle
- toxic waste
- and more
i hope tis helped out i tried my best
have a great afternoon
