Evolution can be described as the change in ___ frequencies of a ___ over time. The process of natural selection acts on specific and causes a change in the frequency of the alleles that produce them. A population of organisms with similar phenotypes that interbreed is defined as a ___. Note that ___ evolve, not individuals.

Evolution can be described as the change in the allele frequencies of a gene pool over time. The process of natural selection acts on specific phenotypes and causes a change in the frequency of the alleles that produce them. A population of organisms with similar phenotypes that interbreed is defined as a species. Note that species evolve, not individuals.

Explanation:

Evolution is the gradual change in species over time due to selective response processes.

Natural selection of species leads to overproduction of species, variation or habitability of heritable characteristics, selection of inherited traits or phenotypes which aid the species to better suit to their environment, and to enhance and maintain the species fitness to survive and thrive in their environment.

Natural selection leads to genetic drift or shift in the gene pool to develop favorable phenotypes under random circumstances through bottleneck or founder effects.

The frequency distribution of phenotyes follows a bell curve due to either directional, stabilizing, or disruptive natural selection processes. The group or population with similar type of traits or phenotypes which can interbreed among themselves are collectively called as species.

The evolutionary changes are exhibited or observed in the species as a whole and not in an individual organism due to evolutionary processes like co-evolution, divergent and convergent evolution.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]

1. what is the relationship between the shape of an enzyme and the reactions they catalyze?

2. how does an enzyme inhibitor work?

separate your answers so i dont get confused : )
