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 B. Natural selection is an outdated theory to explain how evolution took place.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.

Which characteristics do hookworms and tapeworms share? Check all that apply.
MaRussiya [10]

The answer is; B and D

Tapeworms (Cestoda) are called flatworm (Platyhelminthes) while hookworms are roundworms (Nematodes). Both are parasites and live within the intestines of animals and feed on the nutrients digested in the organ. When these worms migrate to other parts of the body, they cause complications, The more of this parasite one has the heavier the symptoms they will exhibit – such as asthma-like symptoms.

in question number 6, the correct answer is false. this is because arrow  C is representing a combustion reaction whereby hydrocarbon or organic carbon from the fossil fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. this process is not conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy. in this process energy will still be stored in form of chemical energy in the bonds of carbon dioxide and water produce


in the question number 7 the correct answer is true.  this is because the green plant is using energy from the such for the process of photosynthesis. photosynthesis is a process by which green plants make their own food using energy from the light. light energy is used to split the molecules of water to oxygen and hydrogen ions. oxygen is released into the atmosphere whereas hydrogen ions are used in the dark stage of photosynthesis a process referred to as carbon fixation. the end result of carbon fixation is production of organic compounds such as glucose, protein and lipids among others. these foods store energy in form of chemical energy. so arrow A represents transfer of solar energy to chemical energy


in the question number 8, the arrows that represent the release of carbon dioxide include arrow C and arrow F. in arrow C the process occurring is referred to as combustion and it occurs when hydrocarbon in fossil fuels reaction with oxygen in the presence of heat to produce carbon dioxide and water. the arrow F represents respiration, a process by which living cells manufacture energy in form of ATP from organic food such as glucose. respiration end products include water carbon dioxide and ATP. it is essentially the reverse of photosynthesis


in question number 9, arrow E represents cycling of carbon from living organisms to non-living organisms. this is because it is showing conversion of a carbon from the dead tree to fossil fuel. when plants and animals die and buried deep in the ground, they are slowly converted to fossil fuels which contain organic hydrocarbon compounds including petrol, kerosene and other compounds.


in question number 10, arrow B & C show the conservation of energy and mass. when living organisms die they are converted to fossil fuels which are used in industries to produce energy required for various activities. during this process carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and it is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis as shown by B. this is conservation of energy and mass the number of carbon in the fossils fuel initially came from living plants and when fossil fuel is combusted it produces carbon dioxide that will be used in the process of photosynthesis and cycle continues.

That substance was most likely parathyroid hormone.

<h3>What is a parathyroid hormone?</h3>

It should be noted that the parathyroid hormone is the hormone that is released to control calcuim levels in the blood.

In this case, this is illustrated as the blood calcium levels were above normal and the pathologist found cancer cells that produced a hormone-like substance.

Why is the northern hemisphere warmer in the summer than in the winter paragraph plz
Alexus [3.1K]
The northern hemisphere is warmer in the summer than the winter because the northern hemisphere are pointing toward the sun. Because of this the rays hit us more directly making is hotter. So during the winter when the northern hemisphere is not pointing toward us, it makes is colder. It also depends on the tilt of the axis. When it is more direct it makes the temperature hotter.
