200 A Industrial fuse. 80 kA breaking capacity. In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit including the source of power and the load.
In order for natural selection to operate on a trait, the trait must possess heritable variation and must confer an advantage in the competition for resources. If one of these requirements does not occur, then the trait does not experience natural selection.
In a changing environment, natural selection will favor variations Variation: The differences among individuals in a population. that result in a better fitness in the new environment, resulting in adaptation and evolution. Directional selection Directional selection Directional Selection: A type of selection that removes individuals from one end of a phenotypic distribution and thus causes a shift in the distribution. occurs when natural selection favors one extreme of continuous variation. Over time, the favored extreme will become more common and the other extreme will be less common or lost.
