Explanation:

Mutations occur at random. Mutations lead to the translation of slightly different proteins, due to the changes in DNA, hence influencing phenotypes. Mutations can, therefore, confer advantage or disadvantage to individuals in a population bearing it. Those mutations that confer an advantage in the environment in the struggle for resources or escaping predation are preserved by natural selection. Those that confer disadvantage are ‘weeded’ out. Mutations act as a base on which natural selection pressures can act on. A population, therefore, will evolve to changes in its environment through mutations and natural selection pressures.

Answer AND Explanation:

The variations that Darwin regarded as raw materials for the process of evolution have been traced to changes that occur at the gene level or the chromosome and these changes are called mutations. Organisms with beneficial mutations are able to pass them on to their offspring during reproduction. Transmission of such mutations through many generations could lead to the emergence of new species. The emergence of new species requires a long time and is also affected by the rate of mutations that a particular species undergoes. This leads to evolution.

Lilit [14]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A-Flask A contained ammonium utilizers, and flask B contained nitrogen fixers that could grow with or without the presence of ammonium.

B-Flask A contained nitrogen fixers that could grow both with and without ammonium; flask B did not contain nitrogen fixers but did contain organisms that could use ammonium.

C-Flask A contained nitrogen fixers that could not tolerate the presence of ammonium; flask B contained ammonium utilizers.

D-Flask A contained ammonium utilizers and flask B contained nitrogen fixers that could not tolerate the presence of ammonium.

Flask A contained nitrogen fixers that could grow both with and without ammonium; flask B did not contain nitrogen fixers but did contain organisms that

Answer:

1. Flask A- contains nitrogen fixer which could grow with or without ammonium

2. Flask B- do not contain nitrogen fixer but contains bacteria which could use the ammonium to grow.

Explanation:

In the given question, the person grew bacteria in flask A with no nitrogen and when he grew bacteria with ammonium.

He would find the nitrogen fixer in flask A as no nitrogen was provided in the medium so the bacteria could fix the atmospheric nitrogen.

The flask B could be filled with bacteria that could use the ammonium form of the nitrogen as they are supplied with the ammonium.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
