Answer:

natural selection

Explanation:

There are many processes through which evolution can occur like migration, mutation, genetic drift and natural selection. However, one of the most important triggering factor for evolution is natural selection .

What is natural selection:

In very simple words it can be considered as the process through which organisms that are better able to adapt to their surrounding environmental conditions survive and thrive, thereby they reproduce and transfer their characteristics in offspring, but those that have less ability to adapt to environmental conditions, tend to become less in number and ultimately eliminate.

How natural selection leads to evolution:

Now to understand how natural selection leads to evolution, we will take example of a population of beetles, some are brown and some are green in color. Now environment has limited capacity and it cannot support the survival of each and every population.

Here what happens is the green beetles are vulnerable to attack by birds because their color is visible to birds but brown beetles are less visible. What will happen that green beetles will be all eaten by birds and brown will keep surviving.

Now years later, beetles will have only brown color because evolution occurred and only fittest ones survive.

This is how natural selection leads to evolution.

Hope it helps!

Eukaryotic cells arose through endosymbiotic events that gave rise to the energy-producing organelles within the eukaryotic cells such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. ... The endosymbiotic theory proposes that one organism engulfed another, and the two co-evolved together until they could not exist independently.

Which of the following is an example of a non-falsifiable hypothesis?
OLEGan [10]

Answer: There is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy.

Explanation: Hello!

To find the correct answer, you need to find a hypothesis that cannot be proven wrong. All but one can indeed be proven wrong. The correct answer is there is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy because there is no way anyone can tell if there is a teacup orbiting the Milky Way galaxy or not. We know that it can be proven wrong because there is no life on Mars, the human species started in Africa and that humans cannot live without a certain amino acid. The only thing that really can’t be proven wrong is the one about a teacup.
