Binary fission enables them to reproduce quickly.
Sidney W. Fox produced proteinoid spheres, which suggest a possible route from chemical to cellular life.
I would guess that the answer would be :'<span>These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.</span>' If the crabs actively dig burrows, as many crab species do, and a layer of oil has persisted in the lower soil strata, it makes sense that the crabs would be reducing the depths of their burrows to avoid contact with the oil. The other possibility is that the crabs might might migrate to deeper waters, but this is less likely because the crabs would be evolved to utilise the intertidal zone.
<span>Natural selection is what allows a population to adapt because the animals that adapt are the ones that mate and pass along their genes. Without natural selection, evolution or adaptation would not be able to occur.</span>
