Answer:

Environmental factors can influence natural selection because they can increase or decrease the amount of genetic variation in a population.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process that involves the survival of species through changes in the expression of their genes, making possible the process of adaptation to environmental changes. It is one of the explanations for the biological evolution of species.

The second premise, necessary for natural selection to be possible, implies the existence of a variability (genetics) of traits among individuals in a population.

The other premises of natural selection are the faculty of traits to be inheritable and that genetic variability should lead to reproductive success and survival.

<em>The other options are not related to the process of natural selection, since it is not possible for natural selection to increase or decrease the number of chromosomes, in addition to the fact that genetic variability must be observed in a population, not in a single individual, to be considered natural selection </em>

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Characteristics can be lost in evolution.

Explanation:

The new evidence helps in developing a new hypothesis. In this case, new evidence proved that the Chondrichthyes diverged after the evolution of bone had started instead of before the evolution started. This process called atavism where an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having lost. This leads to loss of the traits in the evolution

This can take place by knocking the mutation out to overriding the gene by the old gene or overriding the new trait by the old trait during the evolution period.
