It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.
There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.
There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:
- no mutation
- random mating
- no gene flow
- infinite population size
- and no selection (natural nor forced).
You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.
For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.
Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.

During a decomposition reaction, a compound partitions into its components.
Answer:
Yes, it is.
Explanation:
Penguins are a species of seabird that lives in the southern hemisphere, in areas close to Antarctica, characterized by its cold and wide expanses of sea without land. In this context, penguins are capable of living in these temperatures and feeding on fish and other marine elements. In addition, they are unable to fly, but not so to move through the sea using their wings for it.

Answer:
a) DNA fragments associated with histone proteins are all multiple in length (i.e., 260 bp, 520 bp, 780 bp, etc), thereby suggesting the presence of a pattern of organization in the chromatin
b) it suggests that each unit of organization (ie, each nucleosome) consists of 260 bp associated with chromatin proteins
Explanation:
The nucleosome is considered as the basic unit of chromatin. A nucleosome consists of approximately two turns of DNA wrapped around a core of eight histone proteins (i.e., a histone octamer). The histone octamer consists of two copies of each of the histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Moreover, the nucleosomes are connected together by linker DNA sequences which vary between 10 and 100 bp in length.
