Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because the newts with this mutation have faster reflexes, they are able to evade predators much better than the normal newts. This increases their chances of survival hence are more likely to reach reproductive age than the normal newts. Therefore they have a higher probability of passing their genes to the next generations. With each generation, newts with the mutated gene will increase.

What are the different types of leaves that plants have?
dusya [7]

Answer:

There are two different types of leaves – simples leaves and compound leaves. The other types of leaves include acicular, linear, lanceolate, orbicular, elliptical, oblique, centric cordate, etc. They perform the function of photosynthesis and help in the removal of excess water from the aerial parts of the plant. The most obvious aspect to examine is the shape of the leaf. If it is an uninterrupted shape, it is simple. If the shape divides into smaller leaf sets the leaf is compound. Identifying plant leaves that are compound divides them into subsets.

nordsb [41]
The answer to this question would be endocytosis.

Endocytosis a process to bring outside material into cell. The word "endo" itself mean "inside". This material could be source of energy or microbes that need to be killed. It's opposite would be exocytosis. The word "exo" itself mean "outside".
Both of them is pretty similar because they use vesicle to transport the things that need to be moved.
