There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
The health of people damaged when the mercury is released into the atmosphere because of its toxic nature.
<h3>
What is the effect of mercury?</h3>
Mercury contamination is a great threat to public health and environmental because methylmercury easily enters the bloodstream which leads to damaged brain. It is considered toxic for the humans due to its damaging nature.
So we can conclude that the health of people damaged when the mercury is released into the atmosphere.

A mountain lion population recently experienced a drop in population size. The best limiting factor that is involved is- The deer population experienced a rapid decline due to a parasite.
Only this could be the best possible answer out of all other options because when there are no deer, there is no food for the lions.
Good afternoon. An organelle is any structure in cells that has a specialized function. They are usually found in eukaryotic (nucleus) cells. They help with energy, making proteins, and removing wastes from a certain area. They are composed of large molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. I hope I helped!! If you have any more questions then don't hesitate to let me know. Have a great day!!
