Natural selection is a theory popularized by Charles Darwin. It's a key mechanism of evolution. When a gene or an aspect of an organisms dna isn't up to par with the environment, it starts to change over time. Over time this can result in various groups being much more adapted to a specific environment. It is considered the leading proof for adaptive evolution. An example would be, if there was a population of green bugs and red bugs. The birds in this area were more attracted to the red bugs than the green bugs. Natural selection may take place and the species would the red bugs would get cut out as generations went on and in time, there would be mostly or only green bugs.

As a final exam question in your biology course, you are asked to identify an animal that you immediately recognize as a chordat
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: c) and b) are correct.

The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.

Explanation: The craniates include the chordata with well-defined heads. This includes mammals, reptiles and fishes. So we can discard the other answers. Because most craniates have functional jaws, and the adults do not lose their chordate characteristics. The last one does not apply as a specific feature because the tunicate have neural crest but are not recognized as craniata.

Are the counts of blue crabs in Maryland accurate for 1991 and 1999?
kirill [66]
The population of blue crabs will be difficult for the scientists to count because of unreliable ways and natural phenomenon or occurrence that causes the water's temperature to rise. According to climate reports, year 1999 have warmer temperature and this probably caused the blue crabs to be active, but on year 1990 female blue crabs sustained a normal quantity of production of their species. Thus, the estimated count of population of blue crabs is probably more accurate in year 1990 than year 1999 because of the stable production of the female crabs.
