Which statement about natural selection is true?

Biology
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option A. Natural selection is incapable of creating perfect organisms; artificial selection is the only way that perfect organisms can evolve.

Explanation: Natural selection and selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but artificial selection or selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. Natural selection is not all-powerful; it does not produce perfection. If your genes are "good enough," you'll get some offspring into the next generation — you don't have to be perfect. Artificial selection is the only way that perfect organisms can evolve.

Farmers and breeders allowed only the animals with desirable characteristics to reproduce, causing the evolution of farm stock. This process is called artificial selection because people (instead of nature) select which organisms get to reproduce.

How can mutations be helpful? Give 2 examples
RSB [31]
Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial. 

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)

weqwewe [10]
The term applied when water passes through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration is called osmosis. Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.
