Answer:
1- Presence of phenotypic variation
2- some phenotypic variation due to genetic variation
3- the given trait has an impact on fitness
Explanation:
The evolutionary theory by natural selection proposed by Darwin in his publication “On the origin of species” (1859) is based on a series of assumptions that enable to understand the amazing biodiversity on the Earth. First, individuals are not identical among them, i.e., there exists variation in the traits among the members of a given population, species, etc. Second, phenotypic variation leads to differential survival and reproduction of the organisms that are best fitted to the environment (i.e., competence among the members of the population). Finally, phenotypic traits are passed from generation to generation (i.e., phenotypic variation is inheritable), thereby favoring offspring from parents more adapted to the environment.
c. Mutualistic: both the bacteria and the bean plant benefit. Mutualism or symbiosis refers to the relationship between two organism where both are benefited. The bacteria convert nitrogen in the environment for the bean plant to use, in exchange for carbohydrates and a place for bacteria to grow, which is in the nodules of the plant.
The right answers are B, C and D.
An enzyme is a protein with catalytic properties. Virtually all biomolecules capable of catalyzing chemical reactions in cells are enzymes; some catalytic biomolecules, however, consist of RNA and are therefore distinct enzymes: they are ribozymes.
An enzyme acts by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction, which increases the rate of reaction.
