Answer: Natural selection is one of the concepts of evolution,it was propounded by a scientist known as Charles Darwin. In natural selection, organisms that have a more suitable traits survive and have a higher adaptation to the environment giving them more room to reproduce and give rise to new offsprings of their kind.

From the question, A male walrus that mates with 45 females has a higher favour than the walrus that mates with 18 females.

This is because,the walrus that mates with 45 females will have a larger number of offsprings than the other walrus making it to pass it's alleles(traits) to the next generation of walrus.

With this,the impact his alleles will have will be greater than the one of the walrus that mates with only 18 females.

Marrrta [24]

The sodium hydroxide solution and vegetable oil underwent a chemical change.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The reaction between a base and a fat or fatty acid is called as saponification reaction. Here the base dissociates into the cation and hydroxyl ion. The hydrogen from the fatty acid of the oil reacts with the hydroxyl ion to form water which is basically the neutralization reaction. This cation now reacts with the rest of the fatty acid to form a bipolar molecule which is the soap. During the reaction, the solution becomes cloudy but with time, it again goes back to solution. The cloudyness appears because oil isn't soluble in water based solutions and the base is actually made solution in water.

Here the sodium hydroxide reacts with oil to form water and the soap molecule which is a chemical change.

Why is having a large surface area<br> important for a cell?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

One beneficial result of a cell having a larger surface area is its ability to cover more area increasing the likely hood of nutrients coming in contact with the cell membrane. Which in turn will increase the rate at which nutrients diffuse through the cell membrane.
