<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.

______________ these compounds regulate cell division rates, maintain normal kidney function and fluid balance, direct hormones

Alik [6]

<u>Full question</u>:

___________ these compounds regulate cell division rates, maintain normal kidney functions, and fluid balance, direct hormones to their target cells, regulate the flow of substances in an out of cells and regulate ovulation.

a- triglycerides

b- amino acids

c- eicosanoids

d- carbohydrates

<u>Answer:</u>

Eicosanoids these compounds regulate cell division rates, maintain normal kidney functions, and fluid balance, direct hormones to their target cells, regulate the flow of substances in an out of cells and regulate ovulation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Eicosanoids behave like hormones, but they did not desire to move. Eicosanoids sometimes seem on cells nearby to their locality of composition. Eicosanoids also swiftly split down, so they are incapable of progress quite notably. Most eicosanoids are created from arachidonic acid.

Hen, eggs, burgers are samples of meals that render arachidonic acid. The eicosanoids obtained from certain fatty acids possess a diversity of consequences on your body. They also modify the insusceptible rejoinder and several respiratory and generative processes.

Visible sunspots vary in number according to a cycle of how many years?

Alchen [17]

Generally, the sun observes a solar cycle of eleven years. In this cycle, there are fluctuations in the activity, such as the ejected levels of solar radiation, and in the appearance of the sun, such as changes in the amount and size of sun spots, solar flares and other phenomena that occur on the sun's surface.
These changes also affect phenomena on earth, especially the auroras.
