Answer: A. Environmental drivers plus genetic variation in the population result in natural selection
Explanation: over geological time environmental conditions change. Organisms do not survive in one environmental niche with traits adapted to a possible future change that might suit those traits. Adaptation is not a matter of choice: adapt if possible or go extinct.
There is a (badly named) concept called pre-adaptation, which is that variations in some existing trait render adaptation to a different environment more likely.
Answer:
In gram-negative bacteria, the thin layer of peptidoglycan is surrounded by an outer membrane made of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, and proteins. This statement accurately describes specific bacterial cell walls.
Explanation:
The Gram- negative bacteria constitute of an outer membrane which is richly made up of lipopolysaccharides, phopholipids and proteins. The lipopolysaccharides function mainly as a virulence factor and are involved in causing variety of diseases in animals.
Gram- negative bacteria can be seperated from gram- positive bacteria mainly because of the thickness of peptidoglycan and by the presence of the outer membrane of Gram- negative bacteria. The outer membrane is absent in Gram- positive bacteria.
I believe the answer is C. Form and height
