<span>Natural selection is a theory that states that those individuals who are best adapted to live in an area will survive and reproduce. Within a given population, there exists a normal degree of genetic variation that may or may not make an individual more adapted to the environment or, more importantly, changes in the environment. A species with a great deal of genetic variability is more likely to survive as a species in a changing environment than a species with limited variability.</span>

Answer:

2.) Laws of Genetics

Explanation:

George Mendel has discovered the fundamental laws of Genetics or inheritance by working on his pea plant, Mendel founds that Genes come in pairs and they are inherited as specific units each one is different from parents.

Inheritance Genetics is when something is passed down from one generation to the next generation.

Mendel law of genetics are three types:

The Law of Segregation.
The Law of Independent Assortment.
The Law of Dominance.

Because most nerve cells do not typically undergo mitosis, they are generally not capable of which of the following?a.producing

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

B. generating more nerve cells

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process whereby a cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. It is way through which living cells reproduce and multiply themselves.

Hence, a nerve cell that do not typically undergo mitosis will be incapable of replicating/multiplying itself, hence, unable to generate more nerve cells.
