    The passages discuss biology concepts like natural selection, parts of flowers and their functions, and factors that affect enzyme reaction rates.

    The main parts of a flower are the anther, which produces pollen; the stigma, which receives pollen; the ovary, which contains the ovules; and brightly colored petals that attract insects to aid in pollination. The stigma is sticky to collect pollen and is located inside the flower.

    Natural selection is the process where heritable traits that give organisms an advantage or disadvantage in reproducing will become more or less common over generations. Traits that help organisms survive and reproduce will be passed on more often.

    Question 4 is about natural selection, which is the process of heritable
    traits becoming more or less common in a population. This is because
    some heritable traits will give animals an advantage or disadvantage in
    producing offspring.
