Answer:
Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits.
Answer:
Darwin's theory of evolution
Charles Darwin developed a theory of evolution to explain the unity and diversity of life, based on the idea of shared common ancestors.
Natural selection
Darwin's theory was based on the mechanism of natural selection, which explains how populations can evolve in such a way that they become better suited to their environments over time.
Light colored mice are more easily seen by predators and are therefore preyed upon more. Dark mice are better adapted to their environment and better able to survive and reproduce.
Light colored mice are more easily seen by predators and are therefore preyed upon more. Dark mice are better adapted to their environment and better able to survive and reproduce.
Natural selection acting on mice population over time.
Individuals have variations within their heritable traits. Some variations make an individual better suited to survive and reproduce in their environment.
If this continues over generations, these favorable adaptations (the heritable features that aid survival and reproduction) will become more and more common in the population.
The population will not only evolve (change in its genetic makeup and inherited traits), but will evolve in such a way that it becomes adapted, or better-suited, to its environment.
Artificial selection
There are other types of selection, in addition to natural selection, that are out there in the world.
Artificial selection, also called "selective breeding”, is where humans select for desirable traits in agricultural products or animals, rather than leaving the species to evolve and change gradually without human interference, like in natural selection.

Dog breeding is a perfect example of how humans select for desirable or fashionable traits. Breeders deliberately mate parents with the hope of producing offspring with specific traits (such as color, size, ear shape, snout length, and so on).
Common mistakes and misconceptions
Evolution is not the same as adaptation or natural selection. Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment.
Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits. For example, a rabbit can't choose to have a different fur color. Rather, a genetic mutation causes a difference in fur color, which may help that rabbit hide better in its environment.
Natural selection acts on existing heritable variation. Natural selection needs some starting material, and that starting material is heritable variation. For natural selection to act on a feature, there must already be variation, and that variation must be able to be passed on to offspring.
Natural selection depends on the environment. Natural selection doesn't favor traits that are somehow inherently superior. Instead, it favors traits that are beneficial in a specific environment. Traits that are helpful in one environment might actually be harmful in another.

During his past seven basketball games, Manuel scored 35, 37, 43, 47, 52, 29, and 31 points respectively. Therefore, his mean number of points per game was 39.14.
What did calculating that number tell him about his game?
A.
Manuel would know that he will make at least 39 points per game in the future.
B.
Even though Manuel does not score exactly 39 points in every game, he tends to score on average 39 points per game.
C.
Manuel would know that he will make at most 39 points per game in the future.
D.
Manuel would know that both he and his teammates will contribute an average of 39 points each per game.

Savannah bought barn wood for $60 for 5 pieces. She spent $40 on materials to paint
and design the decorations. She sells each piece of wood for $25. What is her
profit/loss?
Use the information below to respond to numbers 5,6,7 and 8.
Celeste was selling meal tickets for the holiday program at her school. The cost of a dinner ticket is
$10. She is also selling dessert tickets for $6. She lost track of how many of each ticket she sold;
however, she remembered that she was given 100 tickets and she collected $900.
The system of equations shown can be used to represent this situation:
S x + y = 100
(10x + 6y=900
5. What does the variable x represent in the system of equations? *
1 point
O A. The number of dinner tickets sold.
O B. The number of dessert tickets sold.
O C. The number of dollars collected for dinner tickets.
D. The number of dollars collected for dessert tickets.
O Other:
X is next to the number 10, so x would be the number of dinner tickets sold.
Rewrite x + y = 100 to x = 100-y
Now replace that in the 2nd equation:
10(100-y) + 6y = 900
Simplify:
1000 -10y + 6y = 900
Combine like terms:
1000 -4y = 900
Subtract 1000 from both sides
-4y = -100
Divide both sides by-4
Y = 25
Replace y in the first equation and solve for x
X + 25 = 100
X = 75
A) 75 dinner tickets were sold
B) 25 dessert tickets were sold
C) 75 x 10 = $750
D) 25 x 6 = $150

The option that best fits is option B.
Answer: v=113cm3
The option that best fits is option B.
...............................................................................................................................................
Answer:
V ≈ 904 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r denotes radius
r = 6cm (given)
As it a sphere of radius 6cm,
Volume of a sphere,
V = 4/3 π r³
V = 4/3 (3.14) (6)³
V = 4/3 (3.14) x 216
V = 4 (3.14) x 72
V = 12.56 x 72
V = 904.32 cm³

Circle M has a radius of length 5 inches. A tangent is drawn from exterior point Q to point N on circle M as shown. If QN= 11 inches, determine the measure of
Answer:
look at the box did you see it
Answer:
I hope you are wanting the measure of QM
QM = 12.08 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Because a tangent to a radius forms a 90° angle, use the Pythagorean theorem:
QM² = MN² + QN² = 5² + 11² = 25 + 121 = 146
QM = √146 = 12.08 in
On Wednesday 72% of the customers who bought gas at a gas station also bought a hot dog. There were 25 customers in all who bought gas.
Answer:
18 People bought hot dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not complete, but I’m assuming you need the number of people who bought hot dogs.
25 customers bought gas.
72% of them also bought a hot dog.
So thE number of customers who bought hot dogs are 72% of 25
=> 72/100 * 25
=> 0.72 * 25
= 18 people
Tell whether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x. The angles are . Question 2 x=
Answer:
Adjacent
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
Adjacent angles places side by side and can also be on the same straight line. Since 5x and x+96 are on the same straight line ans placed side by side, then the angles are adjacent.
The sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees, hence;
5x + x+ 96 = 180
6x = 180 - 96
6x = 84
x = 84/6
x =14
The value of x s 14

Gina is 16 years older than her nephew Paul. In 3 years, she will be 3 times older than Paul. How old are Gina and Paul currently?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
Paul: 5Gina: 21Step-by-step explanation:
In 3 years, the 16-year age difference will be 2 times Paul's age. (3p -p = 2p) Then, Paul will be 8.
Paul is 5 now, and Gina is 21.
If the simple interest on a sum of money invested at 3% per annum for 242 years is N123, find the
principal
The principal is N16.94
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100
Principal = (Simple Interest × 100)/(Rate × Time)
Principal = (123 × 100)/(3 × 242)
Principal = 12300/726
Principal = 16.9421
