What is natural selection (not from google) give an example of what natural selection is

Biology

Natural selection is nature’s way of keeping the best fit-to-live things alive, and so on continue to the next generations.

For example, if a rabbit has a limp, it is bound to be out run and eaten by a predator relatively early in its life (unless it is extremely lucky.) Because of this, it is unable to reproduce, and there genes that it contained to have its limp are unable to spread through inheritance. Natural selection goes both ways. For example, if a hawk has very god vision, it will be able to scope out its prey easily, so it will thrive. Therefore, when it produces offspring of its own, its trait of good eyesight will pass on to its offspring.

So, as enough time goes on, the bad traits will be weeded out and the good ones will remain.

Iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen to form iron oxide or ferric oxide. Look at the chemical equation for this reaction: Fe + O2
Ber [7]

ANSWER

The correct answer is A

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

From the equation Fe + O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2O_3


<u>L.H.S.</u>               


Fe = 1                        

O  =2      

                 

<u> R.H.S</u>

Fe =2


O  =3

Now, let try to balance the oxygen atoms first,

To do this, we know the Least Common Multiples of 2 and 3 is 6


To get 6 atoms of oxygen at L.H.S  multiply 2 by 3 and on the R.H.S, multiply 3 by 2



L.H.S.                        

O=2\times3=6      


R.H.S

O=3\times2=6  


This means that, 3 should be in front of O_2 at the L.H.S and 2 should come before Fe_2O_3 in the R.H.S of the equation


Now, we have


L.H.S.                        


Fe = 1                          

O  =  6                        

<u>R.H.S</u>

Fe =4

O  =6

The equation is still not balanced since Fe is not balance

 

The Least Common Multiple of  1 and 4 is 4

Which means that we need to multiply 1 by 4 at the L.H.S and 4 by 1 at the R.H.S



L.H.S.                        

Fe=1\times4=4      


R.H.S

Fe=4\times1=4  


We now, have



<u>L.H.S.   </u>                    

Fe= 4                          

O=6                        


<u>R.H.S</u>

Fe =4

O=6

Hence the balanced equation is

4Fe +3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

What microbial types are likely to be present in each of your fomite samples? Of these, which are most likely to grow on the nut
Alona [7]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which these questions refer, which makes it impossible for them to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to answer your questions in a specific way by reading the experiment, however, I can inform you that formites are objects that allow the colonization and growth of microorganisms that can be major causes of diseases. Among these microorganisms are bacteria, fungi and viruses of the most varied species. Among these microorganisms, both fungi and non-demanding bacteria can grow in a nutrient agar culture medium. This is because this is a very simple culture medium where bacteria that do not need specific nutrients can grow and where most fungi can grow too. However, it is impossible for viruses to grow in this type of culture medium or in any culture medium, since viruses only develop inside a host's organism. Bacteria known as fastidious would also not grow in this type of culture medium, since they only grow with the presence of very specific nutrients.
