The theory of natural selection was first expounded by Charles Darwin and today it is believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.
This process is defined as the process whereby organisms who better adapt to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Hence, according to this statement, option C is correct.
More organisms are born than can survive.
- Translated from Portuguese language:
"The word atom has a Greek origin, meaning indivisible. Why was this term chosen to describe the particles that form matter? Is the atom really indivisible?".
Answer:
- An atom is termed as the basic unit for generating or creation of the different complex structures, as they are characterized by the different shapes and properties due to position or alignment of the different number of atoms inside the given parameters or are of the object.
- It was a belief in the early times that atom is not divisible further in to small sub atomic parts, this concept was improved by the experiments of the cathode ray tube etc.
Explanation:
- However, the atom is comprised of the following subatomic particles which are as follows:
- The nucleus is comprised of the protons(positrons) and neutrons.
- While, the outer region or the cloud is comprised of the electrons inside the different shells and orbits.
<span>Sir Isaac Newton quantified the gravity between two objects when he formulated his three laws of motion. ... Yet Newton's laws assume that gravity is an innate force of an object that can act over a distance

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers. This was the theory of special relativity. It introduced a new framework for all of physics and proposed new concepts of space and time.
Einstein then spent 10 years trying to include acceleration in the theory and published his theory of general relativity in 1915. In it, he determined that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time, which is felt as gravity.
Answer:
Viruses exhibit two out of above mentioned which are
1. They contain genetic information
2. They reproduce
Explanation:
Viruses can be classified as either living or non living organisms
They can be classified as living organisms because of the following reasons
1. They can mutate
2. They can grow
3. They evolve to adapt to their hosts
4. They are capable of multiplication in their host cells
5. They are made up of proteins and glycoproteins like cells do
6. They have genetic information which helps them to produce more viruses in the form of either RNA or DNA.
They can also be classified as non living organisms because
1. They can not exist outside their host cell
2. They do not carry out metabolism, they make use of their host mechanisms
