Answer:La diferencia entre el carbono-12 y carbono-14 es el número de neutrones en cada átomo. El número dado después de que el nombre de átomo (carbono) indica el número de protones y neutrones en un átomo o ion. Los átomos de ambos isótopos de carbono contienen 6 protones. Los átomos de carbono-12 tienen 6 neutrones , mientras que los átomos de carbono-14 contienen 8 neutrones.

Explanation:Un  átomo neutro tendría el mismo número de protones y electrones, por lo que un átomo neutro de carbono-12 o carbono-14 tendría 6 electrones.

A pesar de que los neutrones no llevan una carga eléctrica, que tienen una masa comparable a la de los protones, por lo que los diferentes isótopos tienen diferente peso atómico. Carbon-12 es más ligero que el carbono-14.

Answer:

he relationship between environment, variation and selection lay the foundation for natural selection and evolution.

Genetic variations are present among species due to number of reasons like recombination or crossing over during meiosis, mutations, random fertilization etc. These factors bring changes among the members of a species. Some of the species become better adapted to survive in a particular environment whereas some are not better adapted and become extinct over a period of time. The environment selects the organisms that are best adapted to survive and hence lead to variations.
