Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection states that there is a struggle to survive as organisms compete for resources and try to av

oid predation. Over time, the organisms best adapted will survive and pass their traits on to offspring. Which of the following is the best explanation of the role mutations play in natural selection?
Question 9 options:

All mutations in somatic cells are passed on to offspring and over time as mutations are passed down through generations, populations will change.


Mutations that occur in gametes are always fatal to offspring which prevents new traits from entering into a gene pool.


Mutations provide variation within a population and environmental pressures select for or against these adaptations.


Mutations are always harmful and organisms with mutations will be selected against, leaving those that are best adapted to pass their traits on to offspring

The answer is the 3rd option because adaptations can be good or bad for the population.

aliya0001 [1]
Production of sperms is referred as spermatogenesis and production of ovum or egg is called oogenesis. Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are similar in a way in humans as bth these processes produce large numbers of sperms and eggs. Spermatogenesis is a continuous process where large numbers of sperms are produced at once and uses less energy. Ovulation is a process where only one egg or ovum matures at a time requires more energy. Not all the egg cells mature in females.

The rate of a typical enzymatic reaction is increased by which of the following changes?A. Decrease substrate concentrationB. In
galben [10]

Answer:

D. Increase in temperature from 20 degrees C to 37 degree C

Explanation:

A decrease in substrate concentration might not necessarily lead to an increase in enzymatic activities.

Enzymes are pH specific. Thus increasing the pH of operation from 6.8 to 7.4 might destroy the enzyme.

Reactants need to overcome a minimum energy (activation energy) before they can be converted to products. The higher this energy, the lower the rate of reaction. Hence, increasing in activation energy will lead to a lower rate of enzymatic reaction.

<em>Enzymes work optimally at a temperature that is close to the human's body temperature which is 37.5 degrees. Hence, increasing temperature from 20 degrees to 37 degrees will result in an increased enzymatic activities.</em>

The correct option is D.

As a mechanism of evolution, natural selection can be most closely equated with __________.
olga_2 [115]
As a mechanism of evolution, natural selection can be most closely equated with UNEQUAL REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS.

Mechanism of evolution refers to micro-evolution that involves mutation, gene flow and natural selection. Unequal reproductive success is also related to other processes of micro evolution such as natural selection. The organisms that can reproduce unequally and survive even in adverse condition, increase in numbers.
