Explanation:
The cuticle is a layer of tissue on the outside of most leaves and stems, and its primary function is to help the plant conserve moisture. Since hydrophytes are full of water and moisture, it does not need a cuticle.Most aquatic plants don’t need to seal in moisture, so they don’t have cuticles
Natural selection acts directly on those gene variations for traits or phenotypes.
The phenotype of an organism is the physical characteristic and is determined by the organism's genotype. Natural selection selects the genes that produce a certain phenotype by providing suitable conditions for a certain phenotype.
