Biology

Answer:

White dwarfs have an extremely small surface area to radiate this heat from, so they cool gradually, remaining hot for a long time.

Explanation:

As a white dwarf cools, its surface temperature decreases, the radiation which it emits reddens, and its luminosity decreases.

Explain how mutation drives evolution to occur
Gemiola [76]

Answer AND Explanation:

The variations that Darwin regarded as raw materials for the process of evolution have been traced to changes that occur at the gene level or the chromosome and these changes are called mutations. Organisms with beneficial mutations are able to pass them on to their offspring during reproduction. Transmission of such mutations through many generations could lead to the emergence of new species. The emergence of new species requires a long time and is also affected by the rate of mutations that a particular species undergoes. This leads to evolution.
