<span>This is a form of natural selection. The bands have given the organism a comparative advantage over the species that did not have the banding, which were likely predated by larger organisms. The banded organisms survived and propagated their genetics onto more generations, which contained the banding at a higher percentage still than previous generations.</span>

What is the ultimate measure of evolutionary success?
vfiekz [6]

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.

Mary and Tommy are measuring 10 grams of sugar on an electronic balance that measures to the hundredths of a gram. Tommy records
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 3.2 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.  

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 32 kg and one person weighed 31 kg and another person weighed 29 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

According to the question:

Mass weighed by Mary = 10.00 g

Mass weighed by Tommy = 10 g

As, mass weighed by Mary is reported upto 2 decimal places. Thus, it is more precise.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
