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>

Anvisha [2.4K]

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).

Give two similarities and two differences between gymnosperms and angiosperms.
kakasveta [241]

<span>Similarities</span> between Gymnospermes and Angiospermes:


<span>·         </span>Having seed-Gymnospermes and Angiospermes are types of plants bear seeds. They belong to a single class known as Spermatophyta. Spermatophyta or seed plants are those <span>plants that produce seeds.</span>

<span>·         </span>Diferentiation- The sporophyte (diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant) of both,<span> Gymnospermes and Angiospermes,</span> is differentiated into root, stem, and leaves.


Differences between Gymnospermes and Angiospermes:

 

<span>·         </span>Seed-Although both have seeds, differences between them are huge. Gymnospermes have bare, non-encased seeds. The term "gymnosperm"  in Greek means "naked seeds". On the other hand, seeds of Angiospermes are enclosed within an ovary, usually in a fruit.

<span>·         </span>Pollination- In Gymnospermes, the pollination is by wind, unlike most Angiosperms, who use insects, mammals or birds.  Gymnosperm flowers are often difficult to spot because they are not out to attract flying pollinators.
