Answer:

It does not dive them what they want or need.

Explanation:

In natural selection it is the complete opposite. In natural selection the animal has to adapt to the environment with all of the traits it has or develop another trait. If it doesn't adapt then the popular saying "Survival of the fittest" becomes true.

No this is wrong because the species is in a group with variations and the ones with favorable features survive hence the term “survival of the fittest” so the Best features will survive and continue to give their offspring the favored features

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

p53 helps the cells from passing on mutations that lead to DNA damage. Hence, it is known as the guardian angel of the cell as it helps fight against cancer. However, if p53 becomes defective or missing, then the mutations will lead to cancer.

Mutations in the p53 can also cause the tumor-suppressing genes to convert into tumor causing genes. Hence, mutations in such kind of genes can be very harmful for the body.

The stimulation of an inadequate number of sodium channels for the generation of a positive sodium channel feedback loop is cons
diamong [38]

Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.
