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:
<u>B) Polycystic kidney disease</u>
Explanation:
<u>A) Hypospadias</u>
It is a congenital disease characterized by an abnormal urethral opening on the dorsum of penis.
<u>B) Polycystic kidney disease</u>
It is a disease characterized by the multiple cysts in the kidney as implied by the name.
<u>C) Cystitis</u>
It is defined as the infection of urinary bladder.
<u>D) Dysuria</u>
It is defined as painful urination. It can be due to infection or other underlying disease.
<u>E) Epispadias</u>
It is a congenital disease characterized by an abnormal urethral opening on the ventral surface of penis. It is much less common than hypospadias.
<u>CORRECT ANSWER</u>
From the options, the most appropriate answer is <u>B) Polycystic kidney</u> as it is a disease characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidney. These cysts obstruct urinary flow.
Answer:
Plasmolysis
Explanation:
In the image 1 the cell is having sufficient quantity of water leading to a turgid cell.
The image 1 plant cell is in a dilute solution in which water enters into cell from external medium.
The image 2 plant cell is exposed to a solution which is high concentrated solution.
Due to this high concentrated solution the water present in the cell is send out by exosmosis.
Due to loss of water from plant cells the protoplasm in plant cell shrinks in which cell membrane gets separated from cell wall.
This shrinkage of protoplasm by loss of water is called plasmolysis.
