3. any trait that confers even a small increase in the probability that its possessor will survive and reproduce will be strongly favored and will spread through the population.
Explanation:
- Natural selection is a nonrandom process by which biological traits become more or less common in a population as a function of the differential reproduction of their bearers of differences in the rate of survival.
- Natural selection can act on any heritable phenotypic trait and operate among any entities that reproduce, show inheritance of their characteristics from one generation to the next, and vary in fitness.
- Natural selection is the machine that drives evolution. It also explains adaptation.
It really is impossible to predict such a matter. I mean, think about it, its nearly impossible to think about how earth would be impacted if the heat from the interior of the planet that powers plate tectonics were to suddenly cease to exsist, or if that heat never exsisted in the first place, because that is how planets are formed.
One thing is certain however, life wouldn't be the same without plate tectonics; in one case, the constont transgression/regression, sue in large part of tectonic forces acts as a evolutionary pump forcing life to evolve. EXAMPLE: the evolution of plants from marine to terrestrial settings. Without plate tectonics, life would certainly be dramatically different.

<span>Identical twins are the result of an egg being fertilized by one sperm and then splitting, creating two eggs with identical genetic information. Non-identical twins are formed when two eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm and develop together in the uterus with unique genetic information.</span>
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Both use energy sources to create ATP
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Autotrophs and heterotrophs must use energy in the form of ATP to synthesize organic compounds.
- Autotrophs and heterotrophs are both living organisms that require some form of food to get energy.
- However, autotrophs make their own food via photosynthesis or some other similar method. Heterotrophs get their food by eating autotrophs or other heterotrophs.
