A. Directed by genes

Answer:

(a). directed by genes.

Explanation:

Natural selection can be defined as a process, by which organisms having favorable traits have more chance to survive and reproduce. Due to this, organisms with traits, which are adaptive for a given environment increase with each generation.

Organisms having favorable genes for a trait or behavior will have more chance to survive and pass these genes to next generations. Over time, natural selection will allow the organisms with favorable genes to adapt to their surrounding environment. Hence, for a behavior or trait to evolve under the influence of natural selection, the trait should be directed by genes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

olasank [31]

A) <u>Mutation</u> is the original source of variations for plants and other organisms  which develops differences among their respective species

Explanation:

Genetic variation leads to the natural differences between each individual and among individuals of a species. The main cause for this variation is due to alleles that cause variations in the composition of genes or the DNA sequences.  

A mutation is a genetic variation which leads to the creation of a new allele in a species population. Each variation in the DNA sequence leads to an allele formation and each allele leads to a difference in character or trait between individuals since they are the alternate version of the original genes.  

Although genetic variations could be brought about by crossing over, random fertilization, or independent assortment; mutation is the original source because it provides the basic raw material for all the evolutionary changes.

Which factors are responsible for high and low tides?
Vaselesa [24]
The following diagram shows how the moon causes tides on Earth: In this diagram, you can see that the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are "bulges" in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

The deep-colored, water-soluble proteins, which are mainly found in Rhodophyta and cyanobacteria are known as phycobiliproteins. They captivate the light energy and then pass it to the chlorophyll at the time of photosynthesis.  

They are comprised of proteins and are covalently attached through cysteine amino acid chromophores known as phycobilins. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
