Explain the relationship between mutations, adaptations, natural selection, and extinctio
vladimir1956 [14]
Mutations are like genetic mutations. Say a bird species may usually have a orange beak but one bird was born with blue, that’s a mutation.
Adaptations are things you adapt to like plant species have adapted over the year to receive less and less water to live.
Natural selection is basically ‘killing off’ the weaker ones. Say a bird species has broad wings but mutations happened over time leading them to have small wings that do not allow flight, they may eventually all die off due to that. Extinction is if al those birds were to die off from that mutation.

kakasveta [241]
These processes are volcanic eruptions, impact cratering, tectonics, and erosion. Impact cratering may occur due to meteoroids. The eruptions and disruptions caused during these processes lead to the release of many minerals and other components which eventually affect the surface geology of a planet.

In Pepperland, occupational success (measured by salary) is inversely proportional to the quantitative trait, "BlueMeanie-ness".
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

First of all we need to examine and rank all BlueMeanie-ness scores from the Pepperlanders who took the test.

Ranked scores (from lowest to highest):  8.85; 10.80; 62.98; 88.07; 90.50.

Since the rationale is: occupational success is inversely proportional to the BlueMeani-ness score, it follows that the lower the score, the higher the occupational success, measured by salary. Therefore, the individuals with their scores on the low end will have a higher salary and the individuals with the higher scores will have a lower salary.

Conclusion: The individuals with scores 8.85 and 10.80 will likely have the higher wages.
