How is gene theory related to the theory of evolution?

<h2>Hey there!</h2><h3>With gene defined as "not just one single physical bit of DNA [but] all replicas of a particular bit of DNA distributed throughout the world", the gene-centered view of evolution, gene's eye view, gene selection theory, or selfish gene theory holds that adaptive evolution occurs through the differential survival.</h3><h3 /><h2>Hope it help you</h2>

Heredity is the process of passing of traits from one generation to the next generation. Now, this process would not lead to any interesting results (and in turn, the astonishing variety of life on earth), if this process was 100% accurate or faithful. So, even though traits are transferred from parents to their off-springs, the traits are usually marginally altered.
This gives rise to off-springs who are like their parents but with very minor changes. These changes could either be a) beneficial b) harmful (deleterious) or c) neutral.
Harmful changes cause the organism to perish before it can pass on these changes to the next generation. Sometimes a trait that existed in the earlier might become deleterious due to a change in the environment and thus, undergo the process of elimination from the population.
Beneficial changes help the organism to adapt better to its surroundings and live longer and have more off-springs such that these changes are spread to more and more organisms in the population and are eventually get fixed.

A series of such changes in a subsection of a population eventually lead to a new species which is nothing like the older generation. This process of “fixing” or beneficial changes and removal of deleterious traits from a population is called evolution.

Interestingly, the changes that seem the most inconsequential, the neutral changes, are responsible for the bulk of evolution. Neutral changes along with geographical isolation lead to a process called genetic drift, which is considered by many to be the strongest driving force of evolution.

What is photosynthesis? Mention function of any one plant part involved in this process.
german

Answer:

photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and anchor the plant in the ground. The stem supports the plant above ground, and carries the water and minerals to the leaves. The leaves collect energy from the Sun and make food for the plant, using an amazing process called photosynthesis.

Short-term regulation of food intake involves neural signals from stretch receptors in the GI tract.
Elza [17]

Short-term regulation of feeding involves signals coming from the liver and GI tract. Stretch receptors send afferent signals through the vagal nerve fibers to the chemoreceptors in the stomach and proximal small intestine,

Short-term regulation food intake is primarily regulated by food signals resulting from both their preabsorptive action in the gut and their postabsorptive metabolism, as opposed to long-term food intake, which is regulated by adiposity signals. The first process, commonly referred to as short-term regulation, tries to consume enough energy to counteract what is being used up. It is typically believed that this short-term mechanism controls both the interval between meals and the amount of the meals.

Commuters drive personal vehicles to their places of work: offices, manufacturing plants etc.

Some may use car pooling or mass transit like buses. But too many want the luxury and convenience of coming and going on their own terms.

IMHO car pooling and mass transit needs to be used more to reduce environmental harm.
