Answer:
natural selection
Explanation:
Darwin proposed <u>natural selection</u> as the process that causes evolution.
According to the theory of natural selection, the environment naturally selects for genes that confer fitness to organisms over every other gene. In other words, organisms that are able to adapt to an environment survive and contribute more to the subsequent generation while those that are poorly adapted contribute less and gradually fade away from the population.
<em>For example, when a drug is taken a particular pathogen, the susceptible ones among the pathogen's population will die off while the ones with the resistance gene survive, reproduce, and pass on the resistance gene to the subsequent generation. Consequently, the same drug might not work at all for the new generations of the pathogen because the gene that confers fitness has been selected for.</em>
Answer:
The correct answer would be (D) Blue jays and finches nest in the same oak trees.
Competition is a type of ecological relationship between the organisms of the same or different species in which they compete for the same resources.
Limitation of any one resource used by both the organisms would become the limiting factor.
For example, blue jays and finches depend on the same oak tree for their nesting. Thus, limitation or decrease in the number of oak trees can become the limiting factor.
Unbalanced
as it is not balanced (there is more force to the left, buoyant is only when it has to do with fluids and we don't know this from the information given and inertial would be the force one object gives on another object.
A
The relationship between population growth and resources is inverse; as one goes up the other goes down.
Explanation:
An inverse relationship is one where when one variable is affected positively, the other is negatively impacted, and vice versa. In other terms, when one variable increases the other decreases.
When population growth increases, the strain on the resources increases, due to increased competition, and hence the resources decrease. This is why ideally apopulation cannot grow indefinitely because resources are always limited. The population growth will start to levels off as it reaches carrying capacity. When the resources become depleted the population growth plummets.
