RNA molecules must replicate. d Both b and c are correct.arrow_forwardUsing evidence from the text, how can natural selection determine the survival of humans during the current COVID-19 pandemic? Please explain in 2-3 sentences. In your response, use the words: genetic variants/genes, natural selection, favorable traits This must follow a CER format (claim, evidence, reasoning)arrow_forwardMosquitoes can carry and transmit many diseases to humansIn the past, the insecticide DDT was heavily used to reduce mosquito populations in order to reduce instances of disease transmission. However, after some time, mosquito populations developed a resistance to DDT, which made the DDT less effective in reducing mosquito populations . Based on what you've learned about natural selection, in 3-5 sentences, describe how mosquitoes may have come to develop this resistance.arrow_forward

- How do mutations and selection work together to create antibiotic resistance? Describe how antibiotics act as a selective pressure on a bacterial population and how mutations can lead to bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics.arrow_forwardGenetic variation _______. (Choose an answer.) 1. is created by the direct action of natural selection. 2. arises in response to changes in the environment. 3. must be present in a population before natural selection can act upon the population.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between evolution, natural selection, and artificial selection? A. Evolution is a genetic change in a population over time which can occur through natural selection. Artificial selection is the differential reproduction of individuals in a population to promote the characteristics chosen by the breeder. B. Natural selection is the change of allele frequencies in a population over time. Evolution leads to differential survival and reproduction of individuals. Artificial selection has produced domesticated animals and plants. C. Evolution is a mechanism of artificial selection. Natural selection is a form of artificial selection in which nature selects the characteristics that are most beneficial to a species. D. Artificial selection is a mechanism of evolution and is the main process of domesticating animals and plants for human use. Natural selection is the same as evolution.arrow_forward
