Answer:

C. Natural selection favors individuals that reproduce more than others.

Explanation:

Genetic variations present in the population are acted upon by natural selection. The organisms that have the adaptive traits which in turn make them able to survive and reproduce more than the other individuals are favored by natural selection.

Over generations, natural selection leads to the evolution of a new population with an increased frequency of the gene responsible for the selected adaptive trait.  

For example, the bacteria with antibiotic resistance were favored by natural selection as they can survive and produce more progeny in the presence of antibiotics than the bacteria lacking the gene for antibiotic resistance.

Stem cells are immature cells that do not have a specific function. What causes these cells to become specialized cells such as
kvasek [131]

Stem cells become specialized cells such as blood cells because certain genes are activated and cause a particular cell to develop (Option B). It is called differentiation.

<h3>What is cellular differentiation?</h3>

Cellular differentiation refers to the process by which certain genes are expressed in a particular cell lineage.

Cellular differentiation leads to the formation of mature specialized cells that perform specific functions.

For example, immature hematopoietic stem cells become differentiated to produce mature red blood cells.

The human eye is most sensitive to green light of wavelength 505 nm. Experiments have found that when people are kept in a dark
Gnoma [55]

Answer: 9x10-3ms-1 -- A

Explanation:

Given wavelength λ = 505nm

1nm= 10^9m

505nm = 5.05 x10 ^-7m

and speed of light, c  is 3.8 x 10^ 8

frequency = ?

Using  frequency = speed of light / wavelength

f = c/λ

Frequency , f= 3.8 x10^8m/s/ 5.05 x10 ^-7m

=5.94 x 10 ^14 s⁻1

Also Energy = hv

where h =Planck constant  = 6.626 x10 ^ -34 J.s

v= frequency =5.94 x 10 ^14 s⁻1

 Energy = 6.636 x10 ^ -34 J.s x5.94 x 10 ^14 s⁻1

= 3.935 x 10 ^-19J

Given

9.5×10 −12 g as the mass of the bacterium,

changing to kg

1000g= 1kg

9.5×10 −12 g = 9.5×10 −15kg

to find the velocity

Energy = 1/2mv² = E=1/2mv²

v=\sqrt{2 xE/m}  =\sqrt{2 x 3.935 x 10^ -19 / 9.5 x 10^-15}

v =0.009099=   9x10-3ms-1
