<span>Animals gradually adapt to changes within their environment over time. This gives them a better chance of surviving rather than going extinct because of the change. Say there is a gene mutation affecting color within a population of beetles in a rain-forest. All of the beetles used to be red, but now a few of them have experienced a gene mutation and are green. Because they live in a rain-forest, it is likely that the green beetles would blend in with their surroundings far better than the original red beetles, and those red beetles would be wiped out by predators because they are easier to spot. The green beetles would live on and flourish, and their population would increase. Soon there would be few or none red beetles, and many green beetles.</span>
The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons the atom has.
So, we can write the equation as:
x + 20 = 40
x = 20 neutrons.
Peat moss allows a soil a greater ability to not just hold water, but to hold it in a way that it's available to plant roots. If a soil is too clay, it will hold water but not give it up. If a soil is too sandy, water drains away too quickly.
