Answer:

3. shapes the genetic characteristics of a species as a consequence of adaptation

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process characterized by how plants and animals that are able to adapt to changes in their environment are able to survive and reproduce while those that are unable to adapt do not survive.

In natural selection, those variations in the genotype which increases an organism’s chances of survival and procreation are preserved and multiplied from generation to generation at the expense of less advantageous variations.

Natural selection is a way of enhancing the preservation of a group of organisms that are best adjusted to the physical and biological conditions of their environment and may also result in their improvement in some cases.

As the distance between a satellite in a circular orbit and the central object increases the period of the satellite

Lena [83]

The period is the time it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the central object. As the distance increases, so does the period because the orbit becomes longer because the radius increases.

Hope this helps!!

Describe how the three different types of seismic waves move and affect the movement of the material they pass over or through.

son4ous [18]

Seismic waves travel in all the directions and used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake. There are 3 types of seismic waves that move in different directions.
1. P wave: It is the fastest of all three waves that travel through the interior of the earth and are compressive waves.
2. S wave: Secondary waves generally follow the P waves and travel through the interior of the earth but are shearing waves.
3. Surface wave: This is the slowest of all three waves that moves close to the surface of the ground.

These waves affect the movement of other materials when they are passing through the interior or surface of the earth.
P waves can move through the solid rocks and even liquids. S waves do not travel through the liquids such as water and molten magma. Surface waves causes shaking of the ground and do not go deep inside the earth.

Answer:

gugkugcoytci6r

Causes of Variation:

Causes of differences between individuals include independent assortment, the exchange of genes (crossing over and recombination) during reproduction (through meiosis) and various mutational events. There are at least three reasons why genetic variation exists between populations.
