Answer: B. Poorly adapted individuals never produce offspring

Explanation:

Natural selection is a theory that states organisms adapts to its environment due to differences in their phenotypes. So, <u>individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce</u>. It is a key mechanism of evolution, which is the change in traits of a population over generations.

<u>Populations respond to natural selection if they contain heritable variation </u>among them, wich means that individuals differ in the traits they transmit to their offspring.

Because of the environmental selection pressures, individuals produce more offspring than their environment can support. <u>The pressure determines which individuals will survive and reproduce</u>, while others will die because of predation or diseases. So, natural selection is based on the observations of adapted individuals.

Tanzania [10]

Answer: b) skraplanie

Explanation:

As part of the hydrological cycle, water is evaporated off of the surface of the earth and turns into the gaseous form of water which is water vapor. With temperatures getting colder as you go higher, the water vapor will begin to condense into water droplets in the process called Condensation.

As this happens, the water droplets will come together and begin to form clouds. This will continue till the cloud gets too heavy for the capacity of the atmosphere and will then fall as rain.

Which population would be least likely to survive a change in its ecosystem?
Burka [1]

Answer: D

Explanation:

lIf the change in the ecosystem occurs, then it would effect the weather, temperature, and the abiotic factors. So, we can see that the bacteria could survive in any sort of temperature. So, A can't be it. Also, B can't be it because the grass can grow in any sort of soil, even if the soil is contaminated. C cant be it because even if the change in the envoriment (temperature, contaimination) kills of one of the brown bear's food source, they can still have other things they can eat. But, if the weather gets too hot or the soil gets contaimnated and kills off the ecalyptus plants, the koala has nothing  else to eat. So, best answer is D.
