The answer is <span>the evolutionary process through which new species emerge.
Speciation is </span><span>the evolutionary process through which new species emerge. It is the consequence of reproductive isolation of populations which then become distinct species.
Through the process of elimination:
- A</span><span>n inherited or learned trait that increases an organism’s chance of survival in its environment is an adaptation.
- A</span><span> process by which organisms that are better adapted to their environment tend to survive, reproduce, increase in number, and pass their traits on to succeeding generations is natural selection.
- A</span><span> process by which one of the extreme variations of a trait is favored is directional selection.</span>
The correct option is C-G-A-T-T
Genetic mutation is permanent change in either of the two:
a) Single building block ( a unit base pair, A, G, C, T)
OR
b) Change in the Codon (triple base pair like AGG TCT etc.) or a large part of the chromosome.
In this question there is a change in single building block and thus, it is a genetic mutation.
III. That is a bond formed between a fatty acid and a glycerol.
