Mussels are molluscans and are freshwater animals. The change in the environment led to new traits of mussels, it underwent natural selection and the thick shells have high chances of survival.
<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>
Natural selection is a process of nature that eliminates the organism with less survival and unfit traits while selecting the organisms with better traits of survival in the altered conditions.
The arrival or the introduction of the crabs in the environment altered the previous habitat of the mussels and led to the adaptation of the better trait quality in the mussel species.
The trait of the thick shells underwent natural selection as they were favoured for the changed conditions. The mussel having thick shells have high chances of survival over thin-shelled mussels as the crab will find it hard to attack the thick-shelled mussels.
Therefore, option A. change in environment, option B. natural selection and option E. chances of survival are the correct statements.

Answer:
1. Surface (substratum) is preconditioned by environment molecules.
4. Microbes attach and detach from the preconditioned surface.
2.Quorum sensing and the establishment of the extracellular matrix commences as microbes attach more stably.
3. Biofilm matures and some microorganisms escape to the plank-tonic state.
Explanation:
Biofilm is a process in which microorganism irreversibly attach and grow on the surface to produce extra cellular polymers that facilitate formation of matrix. The biofilm process takes three days for the formation after which thickness of plaque increases. There are 4 main steps in biofilm formation. Surface is preconditioned by environment molecules. The microbes attach the preconditioned surface. Establishment of extra cellular matrix and finally biofilm matures.
Answer: false
Explanation:
invertebrates and vertebrates are two classes of animal.
It is 352 and if u do this and that and this and that and this and that well its 352 cuz of that and of that because of that of that or no
Answer with explanation:
a. 3 sodium ions will move from inside to outside while 2 potassium ion will mover from outside to inside. This movement occur to maintain the gradient across the membrane
b. due to ion movement the concentration of sodium ions become higher outside the cell while the concentration of potassium ion will decrease
c. Due to 3 sodium ion movement outer change became positive (+).
d. due to ion movement the concentration of sodium ions become lower inside the cell while the concentration of potassium ion will increase inside
e. this change results in decrease in charge therefore charge inside the membrane becomes negative (-). See Solved Figure Attachment.
