Serhud [2]3 years ago

Evolution is an observable fact where the heritable traits of a population of organisms change over time. What that statement lacks is a description of the mechanisms that cause that. The “Theory of Evolution” explains how the fact of evolution happens. The theory of evolution states that those heritable traits of a population of organisms change over time as a result of natural selection or genetic drift. (Note that there are slight variations of this.) So natural selection is one of the two driving forces of evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproductive success of individuals in response to the environment due to differences in phenotype. For example, and herbivore may have a random mutation that gives it better camouflage from predators, and thus will survive longer and reproduce more.
To summarize, evolution is what we observe, the change of a population of organisms over time. Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that drive it.

Which layer of soil is least likely to be penetrated by plant roots? a. O (organic matter) b. A (topsoil) c. B (subsoil) d. C (p
Luden [163]

Answer: d. C (parent rock)

Soil horizons are the layers lying parallel to the surface or subsurface layers of soil. These horizons are formed in the process of soil horizon. These sequence of soil horizons is collectively called as soil profile.

The layer or soil horizon, which is least likely to be penetrated by plant roots is C horizon. The C horizon is a layer of soil, which consists of huge aggregates of parent rocks, which are unweathered or partially weathered, lying deep in the bottom of the soil profile. It does not contain organic matter. Also, the texture of the soil is not fine, instead hard rocks are present. Therefore, this layer of soil cannot be penetrated by plant roots.
