<u>N</u><u><em>atural selection acts on existing heritable variation</em></u>

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Natural selection is a process that occurs in nature as a key to evolution. It also goes hand with the survival of the fittest. Nature always selects the best trait to survive or get accustomed to the surrounding by undergoing modifications.

It acts on the genotype of the existing generation and causes variation in the future generation. So the population over generations get to have acquired the variations in their body, structure so that it is adaptable to the surrounding.

How does the cell theory describe the levels of organization of living organisms ???
Burka [1]
<span>It took over 200 years for the "cell theory" to be formalized and accepted. Hooke and Leeuwenhoek were early microscopist's.... but at the time the nature of matter, the belief in spontaneous generation, and the idea there were little worlds within little worlds ad infinitinum was popular. The discovery of the periodic table and establishment that atoms were real, the demolishing of spontaneous generation, all happened at the time that Schwann and Schleiden (and others) were working with better microscopes, better ideas about the material world, and better observations...... thus the cell theory.

Ann [662]
Lavoisier would have taken mercury and heated it up to 350 degrees centigrade in air and then found that a new compound was formed a red or yellow mineral which would be mercury oxide so the experimental observation would be the change in color of the mercury and the formation of a mineral with different properties from pure mercury.

Give at least three facts autotrophs and heterotrophs on earth are true?
White raven [17]

Answer:

  • Autotrophs are usually defined as those that can prepare their own food by carrying out the process of photosynthesis, but heterotrophs cannot prepare their own food and are directly dependent on the autotrophs for food. Examples of autotrophs are plants and trees, and examples of heterotrophs are animals and human beings.
  • Autotrophs are the lowest organisms in the trophic level, where they produce the food for the consumers (heterotrophs). On the other hand, the heterotrophs lie above the autotrophs and when they consume their food, they obtain only 10% of the energy, and the remaining energy is released into the environment.
  • Autotrophs can make organic substances by the use of inorganic molecules, but heterotrophs cannot make these substances. They are only dependent on the molecules prepared by these autotrophs.

Thus, these are three of the facts regarding autotrophs and heterotrophs existing on earth that are true.
