Answer:

D. the 23rd pair of chromosomes

Explanation:

Humans have a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes. Out of a total of 23 pairs, 22 pairs are autosomes. Autosomes are the chromosomes that carry the genes for all the genetic traits but are not involved in the sex determination of the individuals.

The 23rd pair of chromosomes in humans is of sex chromosomes as these chromosomes carry the genes to regulate the gender of the individuals. A human female has two copies of the X chromosome as sex chromosomes while human males have one X and one Y chromosome as their sex chromosomes. The Y chromosome carries "SRY" gene that codes for testes determining factor and regulates the development of testes in the embryo.

Biologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this stat
denis23 [38]

Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not  exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.
