Variation in a trait is a required condition for natural selection to act on a population for that trait. Assuming a population of organisms started with only one form of a trait, what are two ways variation in the trait could be introduced into the population? Explain your answer.

1. Mutation

2. Epigenetics

Explanation:

1. Mutation occurs when there is a change in an organism's DNA sequence as a result of mistakes in DNA replication or as a result of environmental factors like smoking. The mutation in a single organism can be passed on to other generations hence causing a genetic variation in the population, this obeys the Darwin's law that inherited traits (genetic) are passed on to other generations

2. Epigenetics are changes in gene expression that doesn't involve changes in the DNA sequences unlike mutation. This changes can be passed on to other generations and hence cause a variation in the population. This obeys the Lamarckian evolution that acquired traits are passed on to other generations.

A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.

the right answer is a. skin cells forming from sunlight.

the liver is an organ endowed with a fantastic ability to regenerate

. thus, if a hepatectomy (ablation) of 70% of the hepatic mass is performed in the rat, there is complete recovery in 7 to 10 days.

prokaryotes are beings that have existed since the existence of life on earth, and do not come from another realm.

ribosomes are organelles that exist naturally in eukaryotes, either in free form or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
