Answer:
The seed of a tree may sprout in soil that hasa collected in a cracked root. As the roots grow, they widen the crakcs, eventually breaking the rock into pieces. - mechanical weathering
The four factors that affect evolution are mutations, natural selection, genetic drift and the gene flow, In the case, if the ground finches that Grants studied, we can observe the working of the natural selection. Due to change in the conditions in the environment, the large beak was an advantageous trait that was favored by the natural selection. The result of this process was an increase in numbers of large beaked finches and decrease in small-beaked finches compared to the initial numbers in the population.
A. The mutation that occurs during meiosis is a sure way of gene splitting I presume:)
The best answer is C
The process by which a cell divides is called mitosis. It results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original cell.
Multicellular organisms, depend on mitosis for growth and repair. Organisms repair some of their tissues using mitosis to regenerate new cells. Not all cells undergo mitosis at the same rate. In man, brain cells are much more difficult to regenerate than cheek cells which are constantly being replaced.
The evolutionary effects of the genetic drift are the greatest when the population is small.
In small populations, genetic drift can significantly change the frequencies of the alleles and affect the genetic structure of the population. In big populations, the effects of the genetic drift are small and insignificant.
