Biology
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. Only the best-adapted animals in a population survive.

Explanation:

  • Natural Selection is the process by which the individuals of a species which has the potential to sustain and survive in adverse or changing environment gets a survival advantage over those individuals which are unable to adapt themselves to altered environmental conditions.
  • As the less potent individuals die in altered environmental conditions the  adaptable individuals escapes competition with them for natural resources.
  • Evolution causes species to alter their characteristics depending upon the demand of the conditions. These changes can vary, can be less or drastic.
  • Animals pass all the newly adapted traits to the successive generations either as genetic traits or as acquired traits, as this is necessary for the offspring to survive in the altered environment.
  • Natural selection is best defined as "the survival of the fittest".

Which phrases describe radioactive elements? Check all that apply.
svp [43]

A radioactive element is an element which is subject to spontaneous degeneration of its nucleus followed by the emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive.

The given phrases that describe radioactive elements are-

They have a consistent number of particles - the particles are alpha, beta and gamma particles.

They have a half-life that determines their rate of decay.

Explanation for other options:

Not all elements occur in nature. Radioactive decay rates may not be constant as the decay happens when a radioactive substance emits a particle. It is not possible to predict exactly when a given atom of a substance will emit a particular particle. When the radioactive element release energy and particles, it decays.
