Heredity A. collectionof genes that determine specific characteristics
B. a section of the molecule that carries instructions for specific traits from one generation to another
C. the passage of traits from generation to generation
D. molucle that carries genetic instructions for all known living organisms
E. the expression of traits that can be seen and measured

B.a section of the molecule that carries instructions for specific traits from one generation to another

C. the passage of traits from generation to generation

Explanation:

Heredity, also referred to as inheritance, is the passing of traits from parents to offspring.

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.

explanation:

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
