A small population of mice is released into a meadow. Many but not all of the mice survive and reproduce, and this pattern conti

nues for many generations of mice. According to Darwin's ideas about evolution, which of these conditions is necessary for natural selection to occur on the mouse population? A. Any mutations in the population do not affect the fitness of a mouse. B. The meadow provides unlimited resources to support the mice. C. Traits that affect the survival of the mice vary among individual mice. D. The environment of the meadow remains about the same from year to year.

<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Natural selection as proposed by Darwin is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit

Causes of natural selection include: Genetic drift, mutation(changes allelic frequency) and sexual selection

In the given example, condition necessary for natural selection to occur on the mouse population is traits that affect the survival of the mice vary among individual mice, in this condition superior genotype will get the opportunity to reproduce and inferior genotype does not get opportunity to reproduce thus their genotype in population does not increase rapidly and hence they become eliminated leading to genetic drift

Natural selection in the cichlids fish species of Lake Victoria occurred via
Ksju [112]

Where's the evolution?

The physics of light affects not just how blue water looks to us, but how the animals living in the world's oceans, lakes, and rivers are able to find food and each other — and this, in turn, can impact their evolution. Natural selection favors traits that perform well in local environmental conditions. Many fish species, for example, have evolved vision that is specifically tuned to see well in the sort of light available where they live. But even beyond simple adaptation, the physics of light can lead to speciation. In fact, biologists recently demonstrated that the light penetrating to different depths of Africa's Lake Victoria seems to have played a role in promoting a massive evolutionary radiation. More than 500 species of often brightly colored cichlid fish have evolved there in just a few hundred thousand years!

Which factors determine whether a cell enters G0?
Delvig [45]

The appropriate answer for this one is C. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and therefore the cell cycle would be continuously divide. To add, there is a term known as terminally differentiated cells. These cells that never enter the cell cycle again, meaning they stay in G0 and never divide. However, some cells can be triggered to depart G0 and re-enter G1, which permits them to divide again.

here is the awnsers hope it helps you...

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.

Which of the following is a method used to prevent soil depletion?
ratelena [41]
<span>The best method used to prevent soil depletion would be contour farming. 

In contour farming, the land is tiled in consistent elevation. Contour farming is efficient in reducing soil depletion because it can conserve rain water and reduce the erosion of soil. 

If there is no contour farming in your option, then choose A. Adding fertilizer. </span>
