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.

What components of the introns of nuclear genes that encode proteins in higher eukaryotes are conserved and required for the cor
leonid [27]

Answer:

The introns of protein-encoding nuclear genes of higher eukaryotes almost invariably begin (5') with GT and end (3') with AG. In addition, the 3'subterminal A in the “TACTAAC box” is completely conserved; this A is involved in bond formation during intron excision.

Explain how Chromosomes are like a ball of yarn (use the words chromosome, DNA, and gene in your answer)
arlik [135]

Answer:

Chromosomes are like a ball of yarn in the sense that there are multiple components that make up the structure. Genes can be in similitude of the smallest threads in the yarn and when a multitude of genes are put together they make a DNA strand or a long, thick thread of yarn. Lastly, when DNA is twisted together, it becomes bundled together, making a chromosome or a "ball of yarn".

What are all the possible sources of genetic variation in sexuaally repdoucing organisms?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Mutation, Gene flow/Migration/Immigration of gene and Recombination

Explanation:

For any species there are majorly three sources of genetic variations –  

a) Mutation – This leads to change in the genetic code with in the DNA of an organism. Sometimes mutation does not produce any effect on the organism. Mutation can produce both positive and negative impact. Its effect is observed in long run as its rate is slow.

b) Recombination – When an organism undergoes sex, his/her genes recombine with the genes of mating partner. The rate of recombination is faster than the rate of mutation  

c) Gene flow /Migration/Immigration of gene – In this gene travel from one set of population to the other. The frequency of gene in the mixed population lies between the original population gene frequency and the migrated or donor population gene frequency
