Natural selection is a fundamental mechanism driving the evolution of species. To research this conclusion a group of scientist

want to test the effects of increased river salinity on a population of catfish in a river. What results from this experiment would confirm that natural selection is a process that can drive evolution

Answer:

The result which could confirm that natural selection is a process that can drive evolution is "change in the allele frequency of the population".

When salinity of the river is increased, the individuals which can tolerate the changing environment would survive.

Due to natural selection, these individuals would survive and reproduce more efficiently as compared to the individuals which lack such traits or adaptations.

Over generations, the population would only consist of these organisms and thus, the allele frequency of the population would change.

Hence, the population would evolve.

Question 8 How would you describe the effect of different magnitudes of the same factor on the number
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Let's start off with an example. Imagine a population of organisms—let's say, deer—with access to a fixed, constant amount of food. When the population is small, the limited amount of food will be plenty for everyone. But, when the population gets large enough, the limited amount of food may no longer be sufficient, leading to competition among the deer. Because of the competition, some deer may die of starvation or fail to have offspring, decreasing the per capita—per individual—growth rate and causing population size to plateau or shrink.

What is the species number of protista?
lina2011 [118]
There are thought to be between 60,000 and 200,000 protist species, and many have yet to be identified. Protists live in almost any environment that contains liquid water. Many protists, such as the algae, are photosynthetic and are vital primary producers in ecosystems.
