Answer:
The correct answer is - d. gradualism.
Explanation:
Gradualism is a model of evolution that explains that the smaller variation in an individual organism that is occurring over a period of the time is to the betterment of the organism in their environment.
These changes or variations allow them to thrive and survive with a slow successive change in an evolutionary line or the whole population. It is a consistent process.
Thus, the correct answer is - D. gradualism.
Answer:
B) Natural selection favored rabbits that were resistant to the virus
Explanation:
Most likely, virus resistance occurred over time, as a consequence of mutation. Individuals that carried the resistance mutation become favourable by natural selection.
Natural selection is evolutionary mechanism which favours traits of an organism that help him survive and reproduce (increase organism's fitness). In the example above, resistant rabbits that survived had the favorable trait (resistance) by natural selection.
Genetic variation is advantageous because it enables some individuals and, therefore, a population, to survive despite a changing environment.
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
The adrenal cortex in both males and females produce a small amount of weak androgens. One of the major weak androgen secreted by adrenal cortex is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
Levels of dehydroepiandrosterone secretion exhibit changes with age. The dehydroepiandrosterone secretion increases till the age of 20-24 years and falls off with increasing age after the age of 30 years in both males and females. The DHEA production at the age of 80 years is about 5% of its secretion at the age of 30 years.
