Select the correct answer. Which statement about natural selection is true? A. Natural selection and evolution are two terms for

the same phenomenon. B. Natural selection is an outdated theory to explain how evolution took place. C. Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. D. Natural selection is the process by which organisms develop variation in traits, which gives them a better chance of survival.

Answer:

C. Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutional process by which species of living organisms with stronger or more beneficial traits have higher chances of survival and reproduction. In other words, it is the process by which organisms adapt and survive.

Organisms in a population are all different in their own ways. And those with characteristics or traits better suited for the environment are more likely to survive than those without. The selection prefers more beneficial traits and not wholly on the superiority of the organism. So, the survival and reproduction chance of an organism depends on the presence of traits beneficial to the environment, which is how nature selects. And in this process, those selected will dominate the population while those rejected will be reduced or even die.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

If there is low genetic diversity, she needs to introduce something into the system to increase the variation. I would suggest breeding the orange trees with other new orange trees to change the allele frequencies, which is called gene flow.

Likely the fungi are attacking them somewhere that they have decreased resistance, and if more alleles were introduced, there would probably be evolution towards a genotype that promotes defense against these fungi.

Anastasy [175]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The method is a forecasting method based on the idea that the weather

on any date will be close to the average of the weather that occurred on that date throughout the years is the Climatology method.

The Climatology method has been used by climatologists to forecast the weather conditions of a region. Scientists and meteorologists have a series of data and statistics collected through the years and they proceed to measure the average temperature. This simple method is based on the patterns of weather from the past to project similar scenarios in the future.

Abiogenesis refers to how living organisms arose from inanimate matter. Place the sentences in order according to how life on Ea
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

(A) -> (D) -> (C) -> (B)

Explanation:

First off, given that the problem requires us to explain how life on Earth may have arisen <u>from terrestrial origins</u>, we can discard sentence (E), as impacts from meteorites would count as extraterrestrial origins.

Then it's just a matter of describing the steps by which simple compounds turned into more and more complex structures, that would in turn lead to the origin of life.

Simple inorganic compounds (such as CO₂, or NH₃) were exposed to energy, because of that they formed simple organic molecules, like carbohydrates or amino acids.

These organic molecules, in turn, would self-assemble into more complex structures, such as proteins.

Lastly, there's the phenomenon of Compartmentalization, where large organic structures became enclosed within a membrane-like structure, separating them from the 'outside' medium and thus creating primitive cells.
