Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

According to natural selection theory, organisms need to continuously adapt and evolve within an environment or risk being wiped away from that environment.

Organisms that are not able to adapt to an environment are gradually replaced by those that have the capability to adapt and survive in that environment.

Those that are able to survive go ahead to reproduce and give rise to offspring with inherent ability to survive while those that cannot survive die off.

The correct option is B.

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

Every organism lives in a habitat, within which it lives in an ecosystem best suited for its need. An organism needs food, water and a favorable weather to live. For an organism to survive in an ecosystem, it needs to adapt to the conditions in that ecosystem, else it dies. Therefore, different types of organisms in different systems will have varying characteristics.

This is linked to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution which implies that all organism in an ecological system evolve heritable traits suited for their environment.

<span>
Sickle cell disease has a few drawbacks because it makes the red blood cells less durable, which lead to the destruction of more red blood cells. In normal condition(where malaria doesn't exist like in America), this gene will make the organism less likely to survive than those who don't have the gene.</span>

Which of the following best explains why a structural formula of a chemical compound is more useful than a molecular formula?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: Both formulas identify the specific atoms in a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows how the atoms in a compound are bonded together.

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Structural formula is the formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound by showing the bonding between the atoms.

Lewis structures show the valence electrons around each atom present in the compound.
