Vinvika [58]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Individuals within a population exhibit genetic variation and those that are best adapted to their environment survive.

Explanation:

Nature poses challenges time to time to all the living organisms in the form of harsh climate, scarcity of food, natural disasters such as floods, drought, etc. Such challenges enable some organisms to survive better than the others in the same environment and are said to be selected by the nature.

This capability to survive is also termed as fitness by some scientists.  Darwin however only referred to the reproductive fitness which means those organisms who are better fit in their environment produce more number of offspring than others.

Darwin used the phrase "Natural selection" for this and said it is the natural selection which is responsible for evolution.

Describe ecosystem Please.
astraxan [27]

Answer:  An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue. By feeding on plants and on one another, animals play an important role in the movement of matter and energy through the system. They also influence the quantity of plant and microbial biomass present. By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers release carbon back to the atmosphere and facilitate nutrient cycling by converting nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and other microbes.
