Natural selection is the process in which the more favorable traits due to mutation that are in a select few in a population produce more offspring then others. An example of this is bacteria resistant to antibiotics due to the faster reproduction of the resistant bacteria over the non resistant ones
Answer:
D) K being transported out of the guard cell.
Explanation:
The movement of water in the terrestrial plants is a very important factor as each cell of the plant require water to survive.
The movement of water is influenced by many physical, chemical and process going on in the plants like transpiration and stomatal opening and closing.
Water posses adhesion and cohesion properties which allow the water molecules to form a bond with other surface and with each other respectively. This allows the movement of water in the xylem by a process called capillary action.
The evaporation of water creates a pressure on the plant to absorb water from the soil but when potassium ions move out of the guard cell of stomata, the guard cells lose turgidity and stomata gets closed.
Thus, Option-D is correct.
The answer is no, high biological fitness in one environment doesn’t have to be high in another environment.
Biological fitness is a term used in evolutionary biology and it is the quantitative representation of how a genotype (or phenotype) is successful (reproductively) in a certain environment. Fitness depends on environment so it changes if the environment changes. The fitness of a genotype is manifested through its phenotype, which is affected by the environment.
