In populations of all living things, there is a variation of different traits. This is important for the process of evolution and natural selection because if the individuals in the population vary in size, shape, color or any other morphological or physiological trait, the individuals can be more or less successful because of them and therefore natural selection can filter the variations that are the fittest for that environment.
Do you mean when nucleotides get damaged or when they match to each other incoreectly? (which cuases mutants) Specialized Enzymes repair, different one respond to help different types of damage. Detail the question more, maybe then i can help more.
Controlled population growth.
Explanation:
US is a highly developed country and it has expansive infrastructure and highly mechanized agricultural equipments. So first option is not a choice. Second, access to chemical fertilizers and pesticides in a country with such advanced agriculture infrastructure is very easy. Third US is well known for using GM crops.
US does not have a controlled population growth because if not the birth rate then migration of people to US is a major concern for that country. Thus, this will be a correct choice for the given question.
The surface area to volume ratio of the cell decreases.
This decrease is due to the fact that the volume of the cell increases at a greater rate than the surface surrounding the cell, the cell membrane, increases. This change is also visible when we are blowing up a balloon.
When considering the cell division, the ratio remains roughly the same. It is advantageous for the cell to preserve its surface area to volume ratio, since a higher ratio means that substances are able to diffuse into and out of the cell at a fairly higher rate.
