Answer: A) Evolution Explanation: Heritable variation is one of the four most important factors that affect whether natural selection can occur. These factors include 1) Heritable variation 2) Descent with modification 3) Struggle for survival, and necessarily if the others are satisfied 4) Survival of the fittest. Heritable variation allows for possibly beneficial, negative, or even neutral mutations to get filtered during each generation by natural selection--weeding out negative mutations, passing on positive and neutral ones. Without heritable variation, species would quickly fall victim to parasites who take advantage of identical genetic material in a population and evolution would not occur. Variation is the raw material of evolution.

Answer: C) O Explanation: Given series is A F Z U G L T _ Starts with A A + 5 letters = F go to end of alphabet= Z Z - 5 letters = U from F go one more to G + 5 letters = L from U go one back to U, T - 5 letters = O   Second Method :: Change the letters to their corresponding number. A=1 B=2 C=3 ... Z=26 A F Z U G L T _ 1 6 26 21 7 12 20 ? Look at the pattern: the 1st and 3rd numbers = 27, 1+26 the 2nd and 4th numbers = 27, 6+21 the 5th and 7th numbers = 27, so the 6 and 8th would also equal 27. 27 - 12 = 15, so the letter is O.

Answer: D) 10 Explanation: Here the given number series is 6, 3, 3, 4.5, 10 The odd one in the given series is 10 The pattern it follows is 6 6 x 0.5 = 3 3 x  1  = 3 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 4.5 x 2 = 9   Hence, the odd number is 10.
