What is the significance of genetic variation in the process of evolution?

• It decreases the survival rate of a species.

• It ensures that all members of a species are identical.

• It provides a basis for natural selection to act upon.

• It prevents species from adapting to new environments.

A student wished to determine the evolutionary relationships between three unidentified plant species (X, Y, and Z) and a known species Botana curus. Using an indicator powder to test for the presence of a specific chemical, the student made the observations shown in the data table below. In the space provided in the data table, write an observation the student would expect to make if species Y were more closely related to Botana curus than it was to species X and Z.

• produced a lot of bubbles / fizzed

• no reaction

• inconclusive

Which statement is best supported by the diagram?

• Oxygen molecules entered the cell over time by active transport.

• Water molecules are too large to enter or leave the cell, so they remained where they were at the start of the investigation.

• Protein molecules are kept inside of the cell because the cell needs them.

• The protein molecules are too large to diffuse out of the cell.
