Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.

Sharks have existed on Earth for centuries, even thousands of years with very little change to their structure. Why do you think

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Sharks, in their basal form have been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. They were the first to develop a stream-like, torpedo shaped body and created a niche for themselves. Their aerodynamic body shape has evolved to allow for efficient and dynamic movement in water. Having a cartilage instead of bones allowed them to grow large and still be relatively light and buoyant . After they've evolved flexible, protruding jaws, there wasn't much to change. They were able to adapt and exploit all the water habitats as the world was changing.

Meselson and Stahl's experiments proved that DNA replicates by which mode?

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Semi-conservative

Explanation:

Meselson–Stahl experiment proved that DNA replication is a semiconservative process, feeding E. colo bacteria with different types of Nitrogen isotopes (N14 and N15).

Changing the type of radioactive compound in different times of bacteria grow, they could observe that both of the isotopes were present on the bacteria culture.

Basically, if the bacteria present both of them, the DNA was replicated semiconcervely.

Guess what? they show both! (See the image for more information)
