Answer:

A

Explanation:

Living organisms adapt to their moves and positions in response to the environmental changes for their protection or to their advantage. When an entity reacts to the changes in its surroundings, it is referred to as stimulus while the reaction to the stimulus is referred to as a response. Common stimuli are sound, light, air, heat, smell, taste, water and gravity.

Think of burning your finger of fracturing your bone without any pain sensation. It may certainly sound like a superpower or an ideal situation, however, when it comes to the standpoint of survival, it can be disastrous.

It is a characteristic behaviour of living entities to respond to stimuli with the intervention of the Nervous System. It is an organ system ascribed to send signals from the spinal cord and the brain throughout the body and then back from all the body parts to the brain. Neuron acts as the mediator and is the basic signalling unit of the Nervous system.

Pain is the body’s way of letting us know that something is not right. It can prevent further injuries or push us to seek medical attention. Moreover, all of this is possible because humans can respond and react to stimuli due to control and coordination among the various organs and organ systems.

Control and Coordination in simple multicellular organisms take place through only the Nervous system which coordinates activities of our body. It is the control system for all our actions, thinking, and behaviour.

If the pride is taken over by new individuals, what happens to the females? males? cubs?.
Nookie1986 [14]

The cubs are a significant barrier to reproduction when a new male coalition first takes control of a pride. Mothers of surviving cubs won't mate again until their young are at least 18 months old, but if their cubs are lost, they will mate right away.

  • Following that, males leave on their own or are driven out by other men who take control of their pride. It is common for a new male to kill all the cubs when he joins the pride in order to pass his genes on to all future cubs. The major function of males in the pride is defending the pride's territory.
  • Female lionesses will devour the cubs of other pride, but not the cubs of their own pride. The "egalitarianism" of female lions stands in stark contrast to the autocratic behavior of wolves, wild dogs, and several other species, where dominant females prevent subordinates from reproducing.
  • When a female lion gives birth, she leaves the pride and doesn't come back until the cubs are several weeks old. After that, the adult females band together to take care of and protect the young.

Answer: C

Explanation: The process that occurred in the lake is natural selection. In the presence of an external environmental influence such as pollution, only the trouts that were fit to survive or in other words those that have the alleles that help in adapting to the new conditions live and increased in numbers. In such a case, one can say the fittest of the organisms survived and the corresponding allelic frequency in that population increased over time. The organisms carrying the other alleles died due to pollution and hence the overall frequency of alleles change.
