HOW DO NATURAL SELECTION AND INHERITED VARIATIONS INFLUENCE A POPULATION?

Biology
1 answer:
Eva8 [605]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population. ... Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population. Because natural selection acts directly only on phenotypes, more genetic variation within a population usually enables more phenotypic variation. Some new alleles increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, which then ensures the survival of the allele in the population.

Which phrases describe non-foliated rocks? Check all that apply.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: have randomly arranged grains

include quartzite and marble

form from crystallized magma

Metamorphic rocks are those rocks that are modified by heat, pressure and chemical processes, that occurred on the rocks that are buried deep below the earth crust. The exposure of the rocks developing under the earth crust gets altered on the basis of the mineralogy, chemical composition of the rocks and the texture of the rocks.

The non- foliated rocks are type of metamorphic rocks, which are formed by the igenous intrusions. The minerals inside these rocks are formed by the crystallization of the magma, the atoms in these rocks are tightly packed, the external structure of the rocks do not show any kind of layering or band appearance. Therefore, the rocks exhibit randomly packed grains.

The examples of these rocks are hornfels, quartzite, marble and novaculite.
