The answer is D. The natural selection is a theory which illustrates the gradual process of evolution in the population due to the change of environment. The key point is the mutation (variation) exists in the population before the environment changing. For C, if the environment does not change, though the adaptation is useful to environment, it will not be selected. Because the organisms without the adaptation will not die.
Answer:
The change of the wick to carbon from the burning is a chemical change
Earthquakes occur because of the pressure and density.
The correct answer is the last statement.
If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.
It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.
In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation.
