Answer:

Explanation:

The network of fibres present in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell is called cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is of three types.

b) Microtubules are cylindrical fibres and are made of tubulin protein, microfilaments are thread-like protein fibres made of actin protein and intermediate filaments are made of different types of proteins, among them keratin is the main protein.

c) Microtubules determines the shape of the cells, microtubules are associated with contraction of muscles and intermediate filaments provide tensile strength for the cell.

After Darwin proposed his ideas about natural selection as a mechanism for evolution, it took time before evolution was generall
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

A scientific theory refers to the possible explanation of the natural event. It can be tested repeatedly and can be verified by anyone with the help of predefined sets of protocols and scientific experimentation.  

Similarly, Darwin proposed the idea of natural selection as the mechanism of evolution.  

Various experiments in labs, as well as observations made under natural conditions, proved that natural selection plays a major role in the evolution.

Examples may include industrial melanism of peppered moths, long neck of Giraffe, different shapes and sizes of beaks of Darwin finches et cetera.

This is why natural selection is considered a theory now.
