Answer:
Living things use structural strategies and behavioral strategies that increase their chances of reproduction.
Living things do so to reach the reproduction goal that is to pass genes on to offspring. For example: the pouch of a kangaroo, a frog croaking a mating call, and colorful petals of flower etcetera helps in increasing mating chances so that their genes can be followed to the generation.
The two major parts of Photosynthesis are the Calvin cycle and the light dependent reaction.
Answer:
Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance (sampling error).
Genetic drift occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.
Genetic drift may result in the loss of some alleles (including beneficial ones) and the fixation.
Genetic drift can have major effects when a population is sharply reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group splits off from the main population to found a colony (founder effect).
