Some rattlesnakes in a population have markings that help the snakes hide. The snakes with these markings catch more prey, live longer, and have more offspring that the other snakes. What does the theory of natural selection predict about this population? A. over time, it will become extinct
B. over time, more members will have useful markings
C. it will not change over time
D. over time, fewer members will have useful markings

I'm sure the correct answer is B. over time, more members will have useful markings.

Explanation:

If these markings are a chosen trait in the snakes offspring, the number of snakes with these markings will grow.

However, if the trait is not a dominant one then it is less likely to show up in offspring and could be at risk of going extinct.

yes? sounds right, but you didn’t ask a question.

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
