Explanation:

The functions of the neutron in atoms is:

To hold the nuclei with coulombic repulsion between the protons.

The neutron has no charge on it and hence were not discovered.

Its mass is slightly less than the proton.

It provides stability to the atom.

Lord Chadwick is credited to prove the existence and discovery of neutron.

He proved that the nucleus of the atom has its mass in the centre as neutron+ proton.

He bombarded beryllium with alpha particles, and found high energy radiation.

Organisms must have specific traits in order to survive and reproduce.

Explanation:

Natural selection provides an advantage during an adverse condition for organisms that have a rich genetic variation in their population.

Also, environmental changes induced natural selection whereby organisms must adapt to changes around them.

For organisms to survive, they must have specific traits that gives them a competitive reproductive advantage.
