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.

With regard to the process of neural transmission, a refractory period refers to a time interval in which:
frutty [35]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

d. a neuron recharges before it can fire again.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Refractory periods are a short phase in time following an action potential where another action potential cannot be generated. </u></em>
  • <em><u>It is the period immediately following the transmission of an impulse in nerve or muscle, in which a neuron or muscle cell regains its ability to transmit another impulse. </u></em>
  • There are two types of refractory period, that is the absolute refractory period and the relative refractory period. Absolute refractory period is the first part of a refractory period during which, the neuron will not fire again no matter how great the stimulation and this only lasts for a short time.
  • Relative refractory period occurs when a stronger than usual stimulus is required to trigger the action potential before the neuron returns to resting state.

These are heterotrophic organisms that feed on dead animals and plants, secretions, or discarded parts of living beings, that is, organic matter.

And they break it down into inorganic.

Thus, inorganic substances that can be reused in the process of photosynthesis are returned, recycled, to nature.
