Mutualism, commensalism and parasitism
This is why natural selection acts on phenotypes instead of genotypes. A phenotype is an organism's physical traits, while a genotype is an organism's genetic makeup. This may sound counter-intuitive since the genetic makeup does get<span> passed on from generation to generation through reproduction.</span>
Gametic cells
Mutations on somatic cells cannot be passed down to offspring. Rather mutations born on gametic cells are what can be passed down. This is because gametes are the cells involved in fertilization to form zygote that develops into individual organisms.
Explanation:
Mutation on gametic cells can occur within the time from the pre-gametic cell to the formation of a mature gamete such as sperm or egg.
Radiation from nuclear reactor accidents in Japan in April 2011, may damage the cell of the body both somatic and gametic. But only those in the gametic cells are passed down Children born to these Japanese people. Radiation causes double-stranded breaks in DNA that are hard to repair by repair mechanisms in the cell leading to mutations.

Answer:
Another evidence of evolution is the convergence of form in organisms that share similar environments.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is A. X, because organism X has the same role as the grasshopper</em>
Explanation:
In a food chain or a food web, a primary producer can be described as an organism which feeds on producers. The producers, in this case, are the corn stalks. Grasshoppers are primary consumers in this food web because they feed on the corn stalks. X is also a primary producer, just like grasshopper, because it feeds on the corn stalks which are the producers. Hence, option A is correct.
