Natural selection can be compared with the process of passing a gravel-mix through a sorting machine, and getting separate piles

Answer:

The correct answer is option c, that is, variation.

Explanation:

In the given case, the gravel mix is to be selected on the basis of the size of pebbles, which is analogous to the organism selected in nature. In the given question, the sorting machine is analogous to the environment, that is, a selective force.  

Like a specific environment permits the organisms exhibiting specific traits. For example, in a desert where the environment is hot and dry, only the species exhibiting the tendency to conserve water can thrive, similarly sorting machine will permit to distinguish gravel on the basis of the pebble size. Thus, different size of pebble resembles variation.

frez [133]
Lead emission since early 1980s have DECREASE DUE TO LEAD FREE GASOLINE. 
Lead is a natural occurring element that is found in small quantity in rocks and soils. Lead emission is an important environmental health issue because a very small quantity of lead can cause adverse effects on the nervous system of unborn babies and young children. Because of this, the government took all necessary measures to ensure that its emission was drastically reduced.

What do you notice is the main difference between the structure of the connective tissues and the structure of the epithelium? m
FinnZ [79.3K]

The connective tissues and the epithelial tissue differ in their structure in the way their cells are organized. The cell of the epithelial tissue are organized in a closed-packed pattern, while the cells of connective tissue are organized in spread out pattern. Moreover, the connective tissues has blood vessels, but the epithelial tissue does not.

The epithelial tissues serve the purpose of protection. Protective layering is formed by the epithelial tissues in the body. The connective tissue such as bone provides support to the body. The blood vessel connectivity helps in the transfer of the newly formed blood cells.

The appearance of a person is determined by the tissues and other components. The skeletal determines the basic structure of the person. The epithelial tissues give more specificity to the figure of a person. The fats helps in determining the shape of the eyes and cheeks.

The fat in the cheeks is supposed to help the new born infants to suckle and chew. Moreover, it provides padding to the temporalis muscle while chewing. The fat behind the eyes helps in preventing damage to the eyes which may be caused if they rub with the bones of the skull.

It will be hard to open and close one's mouth if the temporalis muscle of a person is damaged. This will make forming words properly difficult. The damage to orbicularis oculi will make the blinking extremely difficult. The facial expressions will be distorted in such cases. The damage to the orbicularis oris will make the movement of the mouth difficult, which will cause poor articulation.
