Natural selection is a process in which the best adapted individual survives. In Darwin's studies on the Galapagos islands, he found 4 different bird species on 4 different islands. The islands were not that far from each other but it still took a while to get from one to the other. He discovered that the species were different because of their environment. Therefore, each specie was adapted to its environment. On the other hand, evolution is a long term process that adapts an individual to it's habitat. Therefore, by eliminating all individuals who are not able to survive, we are left with the ones who were able to live and reproduce and have children who will have changed a bit and will continue changing until the specie is completly adapted. That is the link between natural selection and evolution.

Explain the difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering in the development of food crops with desirable traits
Brums [2.3K]

Selective breeding is the traditional method for improving crops and livestock, such as increasing disease resistance or milk yield.

Genetic engineering is a faster way, which transplants genes for a desired characteristic into an organism. However, genetic engineering offers many potential benefits but carries the risk of unexpected harmful effects.

A researcher is using a modified version of FRAP. She has devised a technique that allows her to label all the peripheral membra
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

FRAP or Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching refers to a method of finding the kinetics of diffusion in living cells, generally with the assistance of fluorescence microscopy. The method comprises the labeling of a particular cell constituent with a fluorescent molecule, imaging that cell, photobleach a small section of the cell, then image the recovery of fluorescence with time.  

In the given question, as the fluorescence has recovered back to the bleached region. The scientist can come to the conclusion that the membrane of the cell and the peripheral membrane proteins do not always belong together.

Garrett notices a small island has formed off the coast of his hometown in Florida. Which of the following best describes what c
Snezhnost [94]
I would say either the first, second, or fourth answer; waves have a very strong impact on the movement of sand and other particles under the water. Erosion of particles off an island are similar in this case.
It wouldn't be anything about a tropical storm; it's no where in the question and we don't know how many storms Florida has or how strong they are.
