In this example of evolutionary development, we can see a selective advantage.
Developing of new characteristics, in this case, the spots on moth's wings is a part of the process of adaptation of organisms to their environment.
The new characteristics are acquired through mutations and natural selection filters the ones that are the most beneficial for the holder.
For example, a mutation which results in moths having shorter wings is disadvantageous, because it makes the individual who possesses it less likely to survive and reproduce.
On the other hand, developing of spots that resemble eyes can be advantageous, since it enables the holder of the trait to be more successful and more likely to leave offspring.
Endoplasmic Reticulum is a long piece of membrane inside of the cytoplasm in a Eukaryotic cell. It connects to the Nuclear Membrane as well. It has numerous ribosomes attached as it helps with protein and lipid synthesis. It has both smooth and rough forms, each which do different things inside the cell.
A compound is organic if it contains carbon covalently bonded to other atoms. Most often, the other atoms include hydrogen, oxygen, and/or nitrogen. A few carbon compounds, such as simple oxides (e.g. CO2) and cyanides (e.g. KCN) are excluded arbitrarily.
<span>By using superposition and cross cutting relationships, geologists can determine relative ages of rocks. This means they can determine which rocks are older and which are younger, but not the exact ages of the rocks. </span>
