Answer:
An atom is stable if the forces among the particles that makeup the nucleus are balanced. An atom is unstable (radioactive) if these forces are unbalanced; if the nucleus has an excess of internal energy. Instability of an atom's nucleus may result from an excess of either neutrons or protons.
Explanation:
The cell membrane lets in stuff and gets rid of the bad stuff
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The presence of homeotic genes shows that all of the listed organisms (mice, flies, humans etc) all evolved from a common ancestor.
(A) is wrong as the evidence of the same gene existing in vastly different species shows the evolutionary relationship between these organisms.
(B) is wrong as there is insufficient evidence to prove that flies are the precessor of humans. We do know that flies and humans have evolved from a common ancestor though.
(C) is non-conclusive as the passage said nothing about the gene allowing the species to have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing. Hence, an errornous claim.
(D) is the correct answer as from a common ancestor, all of the listed organisms undergo and accumulates mutation, undergoes selective pressures that resulted in divergent evolution (aka branching evolution that results in many noval species forming) after millions of years.
This varieation can be justified because since they had different variations they probably had different niches which led them to evolve differently,this will help because the two species will have no competition
