Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not  exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Relationship between Yucca plant and Yucca moth is OBLIGATE MUTUALISM.

Explanation:

Obligate mutualism- The mutual relationship between two partners where both partners are benefited by each other and can not survive without each other.

In case of Yucca plant and Yucca moth,they cannot survive without each other.Yucca moth larvae feed on seeds of Yucca plant and Yucca plant have a single pollinator i;e, Yucca moth. Yucca moth collects pollen from anther and fly to another flower and transfer that pollen to other flowers stigma. In this way they transfer the pollen , usually they make a hole in the ovary to lay eggs and directly transfer pollen to the inside of the stigma.

After laying eggs they mark it with some special kind of pheromone which alerts other moths not to lay egg inside the same flower or lay some eggs not much. So that they can be protected inside the flower and can be developed well.
