Asnail, elodea (aquatic plant), or both were added to the tubes and they were stoppered. tubes were placed under a grow light for 24 hours and the results recorded. the test tubes were then covered for 24 hours to produce a dark environment and the results recorded. which statement best explains the change in test tube d from the light setup to the dark setup.

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

explanation:

1. law of superposition: when there are horizontal layers of rock. the layers at the top are the youngest.

2. law of uncomformity: where one layer is much younger than the previous one, therefore creating a gap in the time record.

3. inclusion: when there is a solid stone inside of another.

4. intrusion: a feature formed when a stone is filled with magma.

hope i answered your question.
