1 answer:

3 0

The reason is that peripheral nerves have both sensory and motor fibers.

Through these sensory fibers, peripheral nerves receive signal and send them to the brain. Also, through motor fibers, peripheral nerves send information to the muscles. When a peripheral nerve is damaged, the both functions will be lost.

Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations as opposed to individuals.

RSB [31]

Answer:

Natural selection can be described as a phenomenon in which individuals of a population which are better adapted to survive in an environment are favored by nature as compared to the individuals of the population which lack better characteristics to survive in the environment.

Through natural selection, evolution occurs and the allelic frequency changes over a period of time. The process of evolution as well as change in the allelic frequencies does not occur just by a single individual, rather it is a collective effort which takes a lot of time. Hence, we say that natural selection changes the population and not a single individual.
