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.

Answer:

Plato Answer

Explanation:

Embryonic stem cells are plentiful, and they can create every cell in the human body. Researchers can use these cells to create tissues. They can possibly grow new organs in a lab to treat diseased organs. Adult stem cells are rarer in the human body, and they’re limited in the types of cells they can make.

An embryo can’t grow without its stem cells, so people have ethical concerns about their use. Adults can provide consent to donate their stem cells, so there are fewer ethical issues regarding the use of adult stem cells.
