The answer is a process that selects variation that help survival and that spreads the variation to more offsprings.
The idea is that there is a higher chance of survival if the organisms has certain characteristics and it is more likely to pass on their genes of this characteristic to the next generations.
For example, there's dark colored fish and white fish. In the deep ocean, dark colored fish can camouflage themselves. However, white fish can be seen easily by predators. Therefore, eventually more dark colored fish survives and more offsprings are dark ones.
Hyperactive, so C is your answer

Mutation is random because there is really no way of knowing whether a child will inherit it, whereas natural selection is predisposed in either parent.
Answer:
a. autotriploid of species A: 63 chromosomes
b. autotetraploid of species B: 96 chromosomes
c. allotriploid from species A and B: 1) 66 chromosomes and 2) 69 chromosomes
Explanation:
<u>For a.</u>
this species will have 3 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tri' means 3)
one haploid set = 21
21 × 3 = 63 chromosomes
<u>For b.</u>
this species will have 4 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tetra' means 4)
one haploid set = 24
24 × 4 = 96 chromosomes
<u>For c.</u>
there are two ways to do this:
1) two sets of chromosomes from species A and one from species B
42 + 24 = 66 chromosomes
2) one set of chromosomes from species A and two from species B
21 + 48 = 69 chromosomes
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
