Answer:

Natural selection leads to adaptation, that is, to a population dominated by organisms that are anatomically, behaviorally, and physiologically well suited to survive and reproduce in a specific environment. ... Species become extinct because they can no longer survive and reproduce in their altered environment.

Answer:Natural selection leads to extinction. Variation of the genome that do not have the information required to survive in an environment are eliminated due to natural selection. The surviving genomes already had the information required to survive or adapt to the environment.

Natural selection does not create information necessary for the adaptation of a population. The information must already exist for adaptation to occur. Natural selection will change the composition of a population by eliminating the poorly adapted.

Examples are the peppered moth of England. There were two varieties the Melanic or dark and the predominate white. When the industrial revolution and burning of coal changed the environment, the Melanic or dark variation was better adapted. The population changed to being predominately melanic. When the pollution caused by the Industrial revolution was brought under control the population reverted back to the predominately white variety. Natural selection only changed the population. Natural selection did not create the adaptation it already existed.

How can short term and long term environmental changes affect the traits that are in a population?
notka56 [123]
Well in an environment when the environment changes so do all the organisms in it. Little of small all changes in the environment can have a huge effect in the life around it. When the environment changes all the organisms around it may change to better suit themselves into it to better survive. The changes the organisms go through could be small such as moving where they live in that environment, or large like adapting to the new colors around them by over a specific amount of time they adapt to match these colors, by breeding and evolution.

How is oxygen taken into the body?​
UNO [17]

Answer:

Oxygen enters the body in the mouth and nose, passes through the larynx and the trachea. The trachea splits into two bronchial tubes, which lead to smaller tubes that lead to 600 million alveoli, which are small sacs surrounded by capillaries. The capillaries take oxygen into the arteries, and the oxygen-rich blood is then pumped into every cell of your body. Once the oxygen has been absorbed, carbon dioxide and water are eliminated through the lungs.

A steady activity in which your heart supplies oxygen to help fuel your muscles is
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Aerobic activity

Explanation:

Aerobic activity can be defined as a type of physical activity which involves the the circulation of oxgen through the blood.

Aerobic activity is an activity which increases the amount of blood that goes to the muscles. Oxygen is needed for the proper functioning of the muscles.

When carrying out any type of physical activity such as weight lifting the muscles need a large amount of oxygen to function well. The oxygen in the body is used to break down glucose and create the fuel which is needed by the muscles in the form of ATP. Different aerobic activities carried out also helps to strenthen the lungs.
