<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

A stream of water holds thriving bacteria. If drought conditions caused the stream to dry up, how would the bacteria mostly like
Alexeev081 [22]

The answer is they produce endospores.

Explanation:

The endospores are dormant, non-reproductive, tough bacterial spores that ensure the survival of bacteria in adverse conditions.

During the environmental stress, such as starvation, desiccation, radiation and chemical treatment many bacteria form dormant endospores. These endospores germinate again when the conditions become favorable.

Hence, if drought conditions lead the stream to dry up, the bacteria that live there would produce endospores to survive.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The original water sample contains 830,000 cells per milliliter.

Explanation:

A sample of well water is tested for its bacterial content in a plate count assay. A one-milliliter sample of the water is diluted in a 1:10 dilution series. One milliliter of the fourth dilution tube is plated in a pour plate. After incubation, the plate has 83 colonies, indicating that the original water sample contained 830,000 cells per milliliter.
