Natural selection is a central concept of evolution. It's the process where organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce. In doing so, they pass on these traits to the next generation. Over time, this process allows organisms to adapt to their environment. Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. The relationship between Natural selection and Evolution is evolution states that those heritable traits of a population of organisms change over time as a result of natural selection or genetic drift..natural selection is the differential survival and reproductive success of individuals in response to the environment due to differences in phenotype. Darwin's greatest contribution to science is that he completed the Copernican Revolution by drawing out for biology the notion of nature as a system of matter in motion governed by natural laws. With Darwin's discovery of natural selection, the origin and adaptations of organisms were brought into the realm of science. Darwin failed to understand the significance of these results because he had no model of particulate inheritance that could be applied to genetic data.

If you made a Punnett square showing Gregor Mendel’s cross between true-breeding tall plants and true-breeding short plants, the
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Assume that allele A is the dominant allele that produces the dominant phenotype (tall) in plants that have at least one allele A, and allele a is the recessive allele that produces the recessive phenotype (short) in plants that have two alleles a.

In the parental generation, a true-breeding tall plant has the AA genotype (phenotype: tall), and a true-breeding short plant has the aa genotype (phenotype: short).

We have the Gregor Mendel's cross as in the image attached here.

All of the F1 generation (offspring plants) have the Aa heterozygous genotype, and therefore, they are all tall.

The answer is c (the offspring plants have a genotype that was different from that of both parents).

2 facts and 1 fib about Kingdom Animalia
GrogVix [38]

Explanation:

Cell Structure

Creatures in kingdom Animalia are all multicellular organisms with eukaryotic cells that have nuclei and organelles. Unlike plants and fungi, animal cells do not have a cell wall. In addition, with the exception of sponges, cells are divided into specialized tissues or organs.

Movement

All Animalia members are mobile at some point in their lives. Motion is achieved through the musculoskeletal system and is one of the factors that allow animals to live in diverse ecosystems including oceans, mountains and deserts. Movement is achieved in various ways including legs, fins and wings.

Food and Respiration

All members of kingdom Animalia are "heterotrophs." They obtain nourishment from other organisms and digest the food internally. In addition, animals utilize aerobic respiration for cellular energy and food breakdown on a molecular level. Oxygen works at a molecular level to complete the metabolic processes necessary to turn fat and sugar into energy for the cells.
