Answer:

As females mate more often with males considered to have more favorable traits, these genes occur more often in a population over time. A person's skin color, hair color, dimples, freckles, and blood type are all examples of genetic variations that can occur in a human population

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary. Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.

Some plants have reproductive structures that help them reproduce using natural forces or animals. How does the reproductive str
mario62 [17]

Answer:No

Explanation:Plants will not just have to rely on one animal to help reproduce. Plants can mimic things such as scents or looks to be an incentive for other animals. Wind and water can also help transport pollen. Plants always have pollinators such as wind, water, insects, and animals. Plants use mimicry in order to attract the biotic pollinators. Plants will never have trouble reproducing because they have so many different pollinators.
