The characteristic feature of the semi-conservative replication of DNA is formation of the leading strand and the lagging strand. DNA polymerases are the enzymes that can add nucleotides to the 3 ' end of the DNA strand only. A DNA double helix is anti-parallel in which one strand runs from 5 ' to 3 ' and the other from 3 ' to 5 ' direction. On the strand having a primer with a 3 ' end, the synthesis of DNA is continuous and forms the leading strand. On the other strand, DNA fragments called Okazaki fragments are produced with multiple RNA primers. It is called the lagging strand.  The enzyme DNA ligase joins these Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. Thus, any defect in the enzyme will affect the lagging strand only and not the leading strand as it does not have any Okazaki fragments.

Answer:

Natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution in which organisms evolve in order to adapt the changes in the habitat for their survival. Living organisms are naturally variable and adjust themselves according to their surroundings.

In the given example, bats in Texas evolve themselves with longer hang claws to adapt the rocky nature of the surrounding. These longer hang claws provide them the ability to cling to the rock, which is an adaptive feature of bats that is influenced by the environment.

Hence, the correct option is "Natural selection".
