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.

Answer:

Charge us

Sell the info

Explanation:

They can first charge individuals to use the services. For example, similar to 23andme or Ancestry, who provide a service of telling you interesting things related to your health or ethnicity.

They could also sell that data to pharmaceutical companies or other research groups who can use the DNA information for research. The more samples of DNA we have sequenced, the more information scientists have to work with and design drugs and more.

The correct answer is: <span>oxygen is used up as algae is decomposed, reducing the amount available to other organisms. Algae require nutrients to grow, and it is well known that in many rivers, algal growth is limited by one particular nutrient, most often phosphates or nitrates. This means, as soon as there is a sizable input of nutrients into a river or lake, the algae population will grow exponentially. This dramatically changes the trophic status of a river or lake. However, the algal population will eventually exhaust the supply of nutrients, and the vast biomass of algae that grew over a short period of time will all die at the same time due to lack of nutrients. As you know, rotting organic matter uses up oxygen. This results in an anoxic aquatic environment that can kill all the other organisms living in that environment. </span>
