Answer:
Environmental factors can influence natural selection because they can increase or decrease the amount of genetic variation in a population.
Explanation:
Natural selection is a process that involves the survival of species through changes in the expression of their genes, making possible the process of adaptation to environmental changes. It is one of the explanations for the biological evolution of species.
The second premise, necessary for natural selection to be possible, implies the existence of a variability (genetics) of traits among individuals in a population.
The other premises of natural selection are the faculty of traits to be inheritable and that genetic variability should lead to reproductive success and survival.
- <em>The other options are not related to the process of natural selection, since it is not possible for natural selection to increase or decrease the number of chromosomes, in addition to the fact that genetic variability must be observed in a population, not in a single individual, to be considered natural selection </em>
Answer:
Greenhouse gases
Explanation:
Teddy is working for a nonprofit organization that urges people to stop using products with CFCs. Through this Initiative, Teddy's organization hopes to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases deplete the ozone layer thereby causing global warming as a result often increase in the intensity of Sun rays reaching the earth.
Example of greenhouse gases include chlorofluorocarbon, nitrogen, water vapor etc
Answer:
Venus flytrap communicate with other organisms by secreting a sugary substance (nectar) in its leaf glands.
Explanation:
The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that traps insects in a plant structure that closes when the small hairs on the inside of the structure are touched.
The leaf of this plant contains a watery fluid secreted by glands on its open traps. Organisms like flies are attracted to the secreted nectar and perches on it; only for the hairs of the flytrap to get shut due to that touch and cell expansion triggered.
