The survival of a species depends on its ability to adapt to changes in the environment. A species must be capable of surviving

and reproducing despite changes to food sources, climate, or threats from predators. Which statement correctly describes a way that mutations increase the likelihood that a species will survive in a changing environment?
Mutations are always passed on to subsequent generations of the species

Mutations lead to genetic variation

Mutations are the cause of disease in the species

Mutations are not harmful when they occur in somatic cells of a species

Answer:

Your answer is B) Mutations lead to genetic variation.

Think of it like this, when rays were first starting to develop, they probably started with only one kind, stingless. Somewhere down the line, the genes of the rays started to mutate and eventually, there were stingrays and stingless rays. Now at this point there are predators that frequently feast upon the rays, so which of the two rays are more likely to defend themselves, and get away to live long enough to reproduce and pass on their genes? The stingrays! The mutation that may have occurred millions of years ago, has determined which organisms were more fit for a changing environment.

What is a metabolic pathway? see section 16.1 (page 337) . view available hint(s) what is a metabolic pathway? see section 16.1
Lunna [17]

The answer is a ‘series of steps in which enzymes work one at a time to convert a compound to a related compound’. The intermediate products of metabolic pathways are called metabolites. An example of a metabolic cycle is the Glycolysis and Krebs cycles. The product in each step of the metabolic pathways becomes the substrate of the next step in the pathway. There are two types of metabolic pathways; anabolic and catabolic

Answer:

interbreeding occurs

Explanation:

The speciation is a process through which from one common ancestor, two or more different species occur. This can happen because of multiple different factors. One of the factors is that the populations should be isolated geographically. This leads to limited gene pool, and also no interaction with the rest of the population, while in meantime developing traits that are suitable for the particular environment. One of the easiest ways to see of two animals are belonging to different species is can they produce fertile offspring. If the answer is no, then that means that they have diverged enough to be considered as different species. One thing that doesn't contribute to speciation is the interbreeding, as it is a process that occurs within the population, and it is a common process through which the traits of the population are passed on to the next generation.
