The changes are the organism's adaptive traits and they arise as a result of natural selection. An example of adaptive evolution is the horse's teeth. Its teeth are one of the traits that made it fit for a grass diet. In contrast, genetic drift produces random changes in the frequency of traits in a population

I will give you 5 of them :)

1.Flightless Birds

Birds such as ostriches, emus and penguins are unable to fly. However, this hasn't always been the case — each of these flightless birds has ancestors who easily flew. Over many generations, ostriches and emus evolved to have larger bodies and feet made for running on land, which left them without the ability (or need) to fly. The same goes for penguins, who traded typical wings for swim-friendly flippers over many thousands of generations.

2.Blue Moon Butterfly

The Blue Moon Butterfly on the Samoan islands was attacked by a parasite, which destroyed male embryos. This changed the balance of male and female but that was remedied within 10 generations. This is because the few male moths that were immune lived to breed.

3.Mexican Cavefish

Mexican cavefish once had eyes, but in the caves, eyes were no longer necessary. They have also lost their pigmentation because they no longer need camouflage from predators. This is an example of regressive evolution, the belief that "if you don't use it, you lose it" when it comes to traits.

4.Warrior Ants

These ants have a chemical signal that identifies their colony. Some ants learned to imitate this signal from another colony, so they can attack a colony and take over. The worker ants will not even realize there has been an invasion and continue to work.

5.Pesticide Resistant Insects

Whenever you use a pesticide, it kills the majority of an insect population. However, certain insects will experience a gene mutation to develop immunity to it and those insects will reproduce. This happens very quickly, within a few generations, since the generation length for insects is short.

Plzzz hurry im being timed ! humans, like other organisms, require energy for growth and repair. when cells create atp for energy, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. how does the body respond to this process in order to maintain homeostasis? a. the digestive and respiratory systems interact to move carbon dioxide to the lower intestine, where it is transformed into methane. b. the circulatory and digestive systems interact to move carbon dioxide to the stomach, where it to break down food. c. the nervous and urinary systems interact to move carbon dioxide to the kidneys, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. d. the circulatory and respiratory systems interact to transport carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body.

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.
