Yes, this is true, and it is actually one of the organisms driving evolution! Some organisms develop mutations that are actually beneficial (better eye-sight, for example) and they're more likely to pass those to their children that individuals without those mutations!
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Option A is incorrect as mutations may be detrimental to the organism and are not always beneficial. Option B is incorrect as there are instances where mutations may enable organisms to be better adapted to the environment. Option D is incorrect as genotypes are not selected for or selected against by environmental pressures, it is only the phenotype (exhibitable/ visible traits) that can be selected for or against, hence option C is the answer.
I think the answer is most likely A
1) To calculate the population density you first need to know how many <span>squirrels form that population.
To calculate the number of</span><span> squirrels:
1500</span> squirrels is the capacity, so it's equivalent to 100%
So how much squirrels are present in 80% of the area:
1500----100 %
x----------80 %
x= 1200 <span>squirrels
</span>
2)Population Density equals the number of squirrels divided by the land area
In the first part was calculated the number of squirrels and the exercise gives us the area in hectares so the only thing left to do is divide them.
(since this exercise doesn't specify that the area needs to be in a certain measurement we can use hectares)
Population Density = 1200/ 150
<span>The population density of the squirrels is 8 per hectare</span>
