Answe: Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations. Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment. A mutation is an alteration of the DNA sequence.
Explanation:
Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth
The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)
The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)
The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)
The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres
The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)
The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere
The Four Earth Spheres
The overall three-dimensional structure of a polypeptide is called its tertiary structure. The tertiary structure is primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids that make up the protein.
