Answer: The answer is natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection explains how certain desirable traits like;

- shape of the beaks of Darwin's finches: to help them feed more easily

- industrial melanism to raise a population of dark-coloured organisms to evolve from pre-existing light coloured ones in industrial areas where the surrondings are blackened with soot;

are favored over LESS DESIRABLE TRAITS, resulting in organisms that are most suited/adapted to thrive in an environment, which is evolutionary change

⚠️⚠️URGENT⚠️⚠️<br><br><br> Which advantage of reproduction<br> does the graph show? Explain.
Liula [17]

Answer:

The graph shows that the population of bacteria is increasing with the passage of time. During 1st hour, the population of bacteria is 50 per ml. In second hour, the population is doubled i. e. 100 per ml. In the 3rd hour, the population reaches to 200 per ml and in 3 and half hours, the population touches the value of 300 per ml. So the graph clearly shows that population is double with each hour.

Can someone help me thank you for your time

I think the correct answer would be water temperature because on the table, the water temperature is increasing by 10 each time so it is changing.

hope I'm right and hope I helped :)
