Answer:
Mutations and sexual reproduction increase genetic variation in a population. Natural selection occurs when environmental pressures favor certain traits that are passed on to offspring. ... Individuals may mutate, but natural selection acts by shifting the characteristics of the population as a whole.
Explanation:
Answer:
eagle- chordata phylum
ladybud- Insecta class
scorpian- Arachnida class
lobster- Crustacea class
snail- Mollusca phylum
Explanation:
The organism that contains a notochord at some of its life cycle stage are called chordates and all vertebrates are chordates so eagle comes under phylum Chordata.
Insecta is the largest class of phylum Arthropoda which contains organisms which have jointed legs, exoskeleton and segmented body for example ladybird, playing mantis, etc.
Arachnids are animals which have jointed legs and in this class spider are the largest order which contains scorpions, mites, ticks, etc.
Crustaceans are invertebrates which have hard shell made up of calcium for example lobster, prawn, shrimp, etc.
Mollusks are very large invertebrate phylum which contains a soft segmented body that is usually present inside a shell made up of calcium. for example snails.
What are the experiments?
