Answer:

Hey there,

Explanation:

Assuming this is the question "What is the relationship between mutation, natural selection, and adaptation?" ...

Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment.  

A mutation is an alteration of the DNA sequence. Sometimes such alterations code for the same amino acid sequence as the unaltered DNA strand during protein synthesis. In such a circumstance, the mutation is not detectable. However, other mutations alter the genetic code in such a way that a noticeable change in the trait that is associated with that gene is visible. Sometimes such mutations are advantageous and improve the organism's ability to survive in its environment.  

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more advantageous traits (being camouflaged, being covered with the correct outer covering for the temperatures of that environment, stronger/ larger/ or faster to fight off or run from predators, etc.) are more likely to survive in a particular environment. Likewise, organisms less advantageous traits are more likely to die due to the pressures exerted by the environment (such as temperature, predators, illness, etc.). Therefore, the organisms with the advantageous traits that survive are more likely to survive to find a mate and reproduce. Thus, the advantageous traits are passed down to future generations.

Answer - C. Reproduction

Reasoning - This was answered before within the community. Here's a reasoning why I chose the answer. - Just like a hydra they are abundant since they can reproduce asexually without having to reproduce with a mate, which means they the ecosystem can eat they and keep the active food chains going.

andriy [413]
Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanicaland chemical. Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.
