Calcium, a chemical element with symbol Ca and atomic number 20. Calcium is a soft grayish-yellow alkaline earth metal, fifth-most-abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust
I believe a possible option for this would be an antibiotic, many specialized kinds interfere with the growth and development of microbes including bacteria.
Answer:
Natural selection
Explanation:
Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution in which organisms evolve in order to adapt the changes in the habitat for their survival. Living organisms are naturally variable and adjust themselves according to their surroundings.
In the given example, bats in Texas evolve themselves with longer hang claws to adapt the rocky nature of the surrounding. These longer hang claws provide them the ability to cling to the rock, which is an adaptive feature of bats that is influenced by the environment.
Hence, the correct option is "Natural selection".
Answer:
There are many types of evidence which support the theory of evolution such as comparative anatomy, fossil records, phylogenetic relationship, embryology et cetera
Comparative anatomy includes homologous organs and analogous organs. They support divergent and convergent evolution respectively.
For example, the homologous structure of limb of humans, birds, bat, horse, whale et cetera show that they are made up of the same set of bones which are humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
It shows divergent evolution and supports that these organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.
Embryological evidence: When early stages of embryological development of different organisms are compared, it is found that these stages are similar at different levels of development.
For example:
- The appearance of pharyngeal-arch (gill-like structures) in vertebrates during embryo development.
- Salamanders and terrestrial frogs pass through larval stages within an egg. They possess the features similar to aquatic larvae, however, when they hatched out the eggs being ready for life on land.
