Answer:
<u><em>The correct option is C) genetic variation</em></u>
Explanation:
Genetic variation can be described as the differences present in the genetic material i.e DNA of organisms present in a population. Genetic diversity allows organisms of a species to better adapt to an environment. A population in which the genetic variability is scarce might become wiped out by a disease or an invading predator.
As the birds show different variations hence the term that best described them is genetic variation.
Answer: The environment changed suddenly from a shallow ocean setting to a river system.
Explanation: Changes seen in rock layers represent changes in Earth's local history. The rock layer stack overall shows a shallow ocean setting. But the youngest layer at the top was deposited by a river. This shows the geologist that the local environment changed suddenly from an ocean setting to a river system.
Since all of the three beetle species posses the protein, we can use it to determine their relations. We can study the sequence of the amino acids that make the protein and the 3D structure of the protein. The more differences there are in amino acid sequences and the structure of the protein, the species are more distantly related because they have diverged a long time ago and their genes that produce that protein have undergone many changes over time.
Answer:
It will die.
Explanation:
Fish need functional gills to live.
As an organism evolved an ability or physical characteristic, another organism which evolved the ability to mimic that trait would have a higher chance of survival and could pass on its genes
