Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

The complete question is

Genetic variation can aid in the survival of species when the environment changes. Which of the following is the best example of an organism with a genetic variation that could improve survival chances over time?

  1. an ant that is resistance to pesticide
  2. a wasp that is infected with parasites
  3. a cactus that has no spines
  4. a mouse that has learned to avoid mousetraps

Solution

The survival chances of ants would be highest among all the species mentioned because it has developed a permanent resistance towards the pesticides used for killing insects. However, a mouse that has learned to avoid mousetrap will also have higher chances of survival but learning something cannot be counted as a genetic change.  

Cactus without spines is a genetic change but it will not help in survival in fact it will have a negative impact on survival rate of cactus.  

Hence, option 1 is correct

Describe one way the plants in a desert biome are adapted to survive?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering. This waxy substance does not cover the stomata, but it covers most of the leaves, keeping the plants cooler and reducing evaporative loss. Small leaves on desert plants also help reduce moisture loss during transpiration.

Explanation: I hope this help's you some!!

I think that the tectonic plates would shift towards each other. This creates what is known as a convergent boundary. If the plates moved away, then this would be known as a divergent boundary. If it is wrong, I am terribly sorry. I did this question on a quiz before, and I think I got it right. It was in 8th grade though, so... two years ago.
