There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
That would be an ionic bond. Which is an attraction between a cation and an anion.
<span>An
atom with an atomic number of 12 has 12 protons. Because the mass
number is the sum of the protons and neutrons, the mass number would
need to be at least 12. I hope this helped!

It would possess the same value. Remember the atomic number of an element corresponds to the number of protons found in an atom of that element.
Answer:
d. carbohydrates.
Explanation:
Sugar-consisting molecules. As a source of energy and energy storage cells employ carbs. The carbohydrates in the cells of an organism are broken down to release the stored energy.
Simple carbohydrates
Composed of one or a few molecules of sugar. Examples of simple carbs are table sugar and fruit sugar.
Complex Carbohydrates
Extra sugar from an organism may be preserved as complex hydrates of carbon. They consist of hundreds of molecules of sugar.
