Te answer would be <span>C. "Some mutations can be contagious, like infections.</span>" Mutations happen regularly and are often so subtle that we do not notice them on a daily basis. Some of them, however, can indeed cause harm.
Natural resources will not last forever because it takes longer to renew them than the speed at which we use them. Only renewable resources, like the sun, wind, etc, will last 'forever'
C. It can be considered a global ecosystem
Answer:
O oceans, soils and forests
Explanation:
A carbon sink absorbs carbon from the environment. They do not release carbon to the environment.
The atmosphere is a good carbon source since it contains a significant amount of carbon dioxide gas.
- Carbon is found in the ocean in dissolved form.
- Soils are also good carbon sinks.
- Forest trees use carbon for their life processes
- One very integral process where carbon is used up is at photosynthesis.
- The carbon is used to make food materials.
Evidence for evolution, in other words evidence of common descent, include fossils, which have shown a (fairly) steady change in morphology over time for some species. An example would be horse hooves: we have fossils that show when they were still three toed, then two toed, then one toe in our present day horses. Another piece of evidence is vestigial organs. An example of vestigial organs is wings in some flightless birds, such as the kiwi. Their ancestors used it in order to fly across the marine barrier into New Zealand, but natural selection and random genetic drift made them quickly lose the ability to fly. Nonetheless, they still have their wings, however small. It can be assumed that eventually, their wings would be reduced to small stubs fused to other nearby bones, as has been observed in their cousins.
