In the
evolutionary sense fitness refers to the measure of reproductive success of an
individual or of organisms in general. Those organisms that leave the largest
number of mature offspring are the fittest. Fitness can be achieved through survival
or mortality selection, mating success or sexual selection, and family size or
fecundity selection. Fitness is critical for a species’ survival and is a major
adaptation that all organisms do through a long period of time. <span> </span></span>
Answer:
The process of natural selection is acting on <u>Field mouse individuals</u> where as evolution is occurring on <u>Field Mouse population. </u>
Explanation:
As the problem shows, the field mice are the ones that natural selection is acting on, but only the ligher shade ones. Because the lighter shade individuals are more likely to survive in the beach because they blend with the environment.
Evolution occurred on the field mouse population because if you read the script in the end, they were able to successfully reproduce. This means that they evolved in such a way that they were able to survive in their new environment. (most likely carrying on the trait of light-colored fur)
Natural selection acts on traits, phenotypic traits, favorable to the environment. Evolution occurred because of the natural selection, because the favored trait enabled the organism to adapt to the environment.
The answer is; Sodium (Na+) and Potassium (K+) Ions
These cations are pumped out of the cell by Na+-K+ transmembrane protein pumps leaving the inside of the cell electronegative in relation to the extracellular matrix. This membrane potential is significant especially for neurons. Depolarization of the membrane enables transmissions of an impulse along the neurons.
