Arteriosclerosis is a general term for the hardening of arteries and a loss of elasticity in arterial walls. Atherosclerosis is specifically a condition where arteries harden as a result of plaque buildup on artery walls. Both conditions result in poor and inefficient blood flow through arteries, which can lead to blood clots or ruptures in the blood vessels of the heart or brain. Blockages in the heart can result in heart attacks; blockages and ruptures in the brain lead to strokes.

omeli [17]

Answer:

Genetic variation

Explanation:

It could lead to natural selection, but natural selection isn't the cause. Many years down the road you could see a particular variation having a higher population, which is the result of natural selection/survival of the fittest via better camouflaging from predators.
