Mutations and natural selection cause adaptations. 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. Sometimes such alterations code for the same amino acid sequence as the unaltered DNA strand during protein synthesis. In such a circumstance, the mutation is not detectable. However, other mutations alter the genetic code in such a way that a noticeable change in the trait that is associated with that gene is visible. Sometimes such mutations are advantageous and improve the organism's ability to survive in its environment.
Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more advantageous traits (being camouflaged, being covered with the correct outer covering for the temperatures of that environment, stronger/ larger/ or faster to fight off or run from predators, etc.) are more likely to survive in a particular environment. Likewise, organisms less advantageous traits are more likely to die due to the pressures exerted by the environment (such as temperature, predators, illness, etc.). Therefore, the organisms with the advantageous traits that survive are more likely to survive to find a mate and reproduce. Thus, the advantageous traits are passed down to future generations.

Answer:
Water sample showing pink/purple color is an error.
Explanation:
Biuret is a blue color reagent that changes its color to pink/purple whenever it detects protein in a sample. Water don't contain proteins so it should not show pink/purple color instead it should maintain the blue color. Food items generally contain proteins so it show pink/purple color but it showed blue color.
Error might have caused by wrong marking of the samples, test tube marked with Water might contain a mystery food while Mystery food tube might contain water.

There are about 5 main structures that make up a neuron. <span>Basically, dendrites, cell body (soma), and axon. In addition, the part of the soma leading to the axon is called the axon hillock. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
