Microevolution refers to changes that occur within a single species or group or organisms. Microevolution, as opposed to macroevolution, occurs in a short period of time. In microevolution, the ancestor and the descendant obviously belong to the same type. For example, certain pests have evolved in such a way that they become immune to pesticides; the same thing has happened to certain weeds and herbicides. Hope this helps.
The statement is - True.
The production of the nuclear energy by the nuclear reactors requires lot of water. The water's role is to constantly keep cool the reactors because if they overheat there can be a disaster of big proportions.
Because of the heating up of the water the water changes its properties slightly. Those changes have big environmental impact, easily seen in the local flora and fauna in close proximity to the nuclear reactors. There is way to big of a percentage of bad mutations among the flora and fauna where the water is released from the nuclear reactors, where very often there's animals with either more or less extremities, two heads, weird growth and shape of the plants etc.
The organelle that could b malfunctioning is the mitochondria, which packages proteins and without protein for cells, the outcome is cell lysis, or destruction.
That would be living things.
Because...
Biosphere= living things
Lithosphere= land
Hydrosphere= water
Atmosphere= air
