The answer to this is older, but it's not a proven fact even though schools teach it as if it were. It is still just a theory if you think about it with how much the earth moves, areas of rock could be complete upside down and no one would know, it would be like history in reverse.
An example of a population in which evolution could take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment. This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.
When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.
The best description of predictable development of plant structure in an area over time is primary succession. The correct option is a.
<h3>What is succession?</h3>
Changes in the physical environment and the population of the species cause succession. There are two types of succession: primary and secondary succession.
Nudation, invasion, competition and coaction, reaction, and stabilization are the five stages of ecological succession. Autogenic succession is derived by biotic factor in an ecosystem.
Thus, the correct option is a. primary succession.
