"Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, it is a change of heritable traits in a population over time"

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.

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis need

Advocard [28]

Light-independent reactions are the second stage of photosynthesis. They make sugars. Light-independent takes place in the stroma and doesn't require light. They need carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to build the sugars. These sugars are used to build starches and cellulose in a cycle of chemical reactions.

What might happen within an ecosystem if the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits?

ozzi

If the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits then the snakes would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All of the other animals in the food web would also die due to their lack of food supplies. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.
