If your last name is M-Z write the 5 processes that affect Evolution and describe each one.

# data[].attributes.body
Natural Selection: Adaptation to your environment
Mating: Genes can decrease if there's no mating but if there is it''ll increase
Population: if there's shrinking, chance can take over.

Mutations: If a different gene is in the gene pool it changes the genes or the frequency of the genes.

Movement: If organisms move/migrate gene flow will change

# data[].attributes.body
Natural Selection is the thumb, this is the only finger that leads to adaptations.
Gene flow is the pointer finger, this is to remind you of movement.
Mutation is the middle finger. If a new gene is added through mutation, it can affect the frequency.
Non-Random Mating is the ring finger. If individual choose a mate based on their appearance or location, the frequency may change.
Small Population is the pinky to remind you that population can shrink.

“Adaptation is the physical or behavioural characteristic of an organism that helps an organism to survive better in the surrounding environment.”

# data[].attributes.body
biological adaptation is the process that adjust organism to their environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Natural Selection is the thumb, the finger that adapted. Mutation is the middle finger, the finger that mutated. Random mating is the ring finger, the finger that stands for a couple. Gene flow is the index finger, meaning movement. Population is the little finger, showing that a population shrink.

The process which a species becomes fitted to its environment. Adaption is the result of Natural Selection.

there's a five finger trick for understanding and remembering the five processes small population, non-random mating, mutations, gene flow, adaptation that impact evolution

In the first paragraph the argument that is being made is that COVID-19 will not be over until "years, if not decades" from now.

# data[].attributes.body
The author argues that even tho some say covid will come to an end because of the vaccines, it may be years before it's over and we need to plan.

# data[].attributes.body
William A. Haseltine is the author and is a former professor from Harvard Medical School.

# data[].attributes.body
The argument being made is that COVID-19 will last longer than expected.

# data[].attributes.body
The author's argument is that the covid-19 pandemic might end in years and not in months like what people are expecting now

# data[].attributes.body
William A. Haseltine wrote this article, and it is about the evolution of the corona virus.

# data[].attributes.body
It is argued from few that there could be an end to COVID, but the author thinks that it could last longer than what others may think.

# data[].attributes.body
The author argues that he thinks it'll be years before the pandemic ends rather then months.

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence that supports COVID will last longer than expected is where it says," it may no longer be a question of months before an end to the pandemic but a question of years, if not decades. We should plan for it."

"multiple new variants have emerged with mutations that can make the virus more transmissible, more lethal and more able to evade our immune defenses."

According to the article, "multiple new variants have emerged with mutations that can make the virus more transmissible, more lethal and more able to evade our immune defenses."

"In Boston, a middle-aged man struggled with a COVID-19 infection for five months before succumbing to the disease. He was undergoing treatment with immunosuppressive drugs when he fell ill, he received multiple rounds of additional treatment, with remdesivir nonimmune gamma globulin, and with monoclonal antibodies. Under this intense immune pressure, key mutations in the virus emerged. The doctors and scientists who witnessed their birth called it “accelerated viral evolution.”"
