True, though the Hadean period is one exception.
Answer:
Natural selection, mutation, and genetic drift are random events.
Explanation:
A mechanism of evolution in which the frequencies of alleles of a population change with generations because of sampling error is known as genetic drift. It takes place in all the populations of non-infinite size, however, its influences are strongest in small populations.
Hope this helps :)
<span>Everyone has cells because these are the building
blocks of life. These tiny particles that clump into groups that form tissues,
organs, and organ systems are
what makes organisms distinct from non-living things that exist on Earth. Where
there are cells, life is present, and in its absence life cannot exist as we
know of today. Cells are responsible for bringing different species of
organisms that are found in different ecosystems all over Earth. They are tiny
but in groups they are responsible for every living organisms that have existed
through time. </span>
The autotrophs are the primary producer in the food chain and they are the ones who initiate the food chain. They produce food by using sunlight or sometimes chemical energy or reactions. They primarily use carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to form sugars or carbohydrates which become their energy source. They use the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to generate food. Examples of autotrophs are green plants, green algae, bacteria.
Heterotrophs cannot make their food via sunlight or other inorganic sources and hence are dependent on the autotrophs or other animals. The heterotrophs have been ranked as secondary and tertiary consumers and cannot be producers. They consume the organic products made by autotrophs to obtain energy for various metabolic and biological activities. The heterotrophs can be herbivore, carnivore, fungi, parasitic plants.
Some are photo-hetrotrophs, who use light as energy but cannot use carbon dioxide as the carbon source since they cannot fix the carbon like autotrophs.
