Among the option given, strong natural selection is the correct option. This is because of the fact that natural selection brings changes in the living being in terms of adaptation. The organism having better phenotypic trait will survive and reproduce. The beneficial traits will pass on to next generation may lead to evolution of new species.

Bess [88]

Natural selection tends to act on the phenotype of the population whereas evolution is the phenomenon which changes the allele frequencies. Natural selection acts on individual organisms of a population whereas the change in populations, on the whole, arises due to evolution.

Over time, the oxygen combines with the metal at an atomic level, forming a new compound called an oxide and weakening the bonds of the metal itself.

Give an example of a stimulus, and explain how your nervous system and muscular system work together to respond to it.
zhuklara [117]
One example of stimulus is reacting to a hot pan. If you touch it, you immediately pull your fingers back. This is your nervous system sending alerts through your body, and to your muscular system. Your muscular system allows you to bend your arm, and move your fingers away from the hot pan.
