When two populations of animals which arose from a common ancestor become geographically separated, the populations become increasingly different from one another as each adapts independently to a suite of unique ecological conditions. These populations are said to be __________. Conversely, when two populations of animals, especially those arising from unrelated ancestors, become increasingly similar as they adapt to common (shared) ecological conditions, they are said to be __________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

divergent; convergent

Explanation:

The first populations of animals are said to have evolutionally diverged while the second populations are said to have evolutionally converged.

In divergent evolution, closely related animal populations accumulate differences (due to differences in their environments) so much so that they can become different species.

In convergent evolution, different animal populations evolve similar traits (due to similarities in their environment).

Hence, the correct words to fill the gaps would be divergent and convergent respectively.

B. These show where changes of state are occurring.

C. These show where kinetic energy is increasing.

D. These show where thermal energy does not exist.

Answers

Answer:

B, they are changes of state.

The best interpretation of the two flat portions of the graph where these shows that change of state are occurring. Thus, C is correct option.

What are change of state?

A state is physical condition of any substances it means that any substance which found on earth are mainly found in three states and these are following:-

1- Solid

2- Liquid

3- Gas

A change of state is physical change of state i.e any substance which changes their state from ( solid to liquid called melting), (liquid to gas called evaporation), (gas to solid called diffusion) etc  are called change of state.

These change of state occurs when temperatures or pressure changes in a system or substances. When the temperature or pressure increase  the interaction between the molecules also increases.

Therefore,the best interpretation of the two flat portions of the graph where these shows that change of state are occurring. Thus, C is correct option.

una persona camina durante una hora y media y corre 4 km con velocidad constante ¿cuál era su velocidad en km/h y en m/s?​

Answers

La respuesta es: su velocidad es 2.66 km/h, equivalente a 0.738 m/s.

Explanation

Para conocer la velocidad de una persona que recorrió 4 km luego de caminar durante una hora y media es necesario dividir la distancia (en kilómetros) total en el tiempo (en horas). Entonces la operación sería:

4km/1,5h = 2.66 km/h.

Posteriormente, para convertir 2.66 km/h en m/s es necesario aplicar la siguiente formula

2.66 km/h *(1000 m/1 km)*(1 h/3.600 s) = 0.738 m/s.

One moth population carries three alleles at a genetic locus: X1, X2and X3. X1is dominant to X2and X3; X1produces red antennae. X2is co-dominant to X3; X2X2produces yellow antennae, X3X3produces white antennae, and X2X3produces light yellow antennae. The phenotypes in a population are as follows: 0.04 white; 0.16 light yellow; 0.16 yellow; 0.64 red.Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the X3allele in this population

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 0.20

Explanation:

According to Hardy Weinberg equation under specific conditions the frequencies of the allele in the gene in a given population remain constant. Thus according to this frequencies of allele and genotype will remain the same through the generation unless there will be no evolutionary influence.

It helps us to predict the genotype frequencies in a large population.  If there are two alleles having allelic frequencies p and q and we know equation of probability and frequencies add to 1

p2+2pq+q2=1

The X3X3 genome produces white antennae. Now Phenotypic frequency of the white antennae is 0.16 or 0.04 in the whole population. Hence the frequency of X3 should be a square root of 0.04 i.e, 0.20.

Some birds on the Galapagos Islands build nests in trees, while others hide eggs in rock crevices. What could account for this difference in nesting behaviors?

Answers

Answer:

Food habits, predators.

Explanation:

The biggest reasons are food habits and predators, most birds who nest on the ground either can't fly or use this to be closer to their food. A ground bird (Like quail) can fly but choose to be more ground-based birds.

Most of the time it's because these birds forage for food like ground insects, seeds from the brush that grows on the ground, or fallen fruit.

Most birds that live in the trees feast on seeds, leaves, or insects found close to where they choose to nest. They may also want to escape any predators that may be towards the ground.

Which of the following statements about cardiac muscle is true? a. Cardiac muscle is like smooth muscle, because smooth muscle has a banded appearance. b. Cardiac muscle is like smooth muscle, because it contains no bands. c. Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle, but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle. d. Cardiac muscle is like skeletal muscle, because skeletal muscle has involuntary contractions.

Answers

Answer:

c. Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle, but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle.

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Cardiac muscle is also referred to as myocardium and it's one of the three (3) muscles found only in the heart of vertebrates, the other two (2) being smooth muscle tissue and skeletal muscle tissue.

Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle referred to as sarcomeres (contractile units), but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle and it's typically being regulated by the sinoatrial node of the heart.

Approximately how many mutations occur naturally in DNA per 10,000 bases?
A. 2
B. 2000
C. 200
D. 20

Answers

Explanation:

Modern methods indicate that the mutation rate is roughly one to two mutation per 10,000 genes per generation.

In human cells, approximately TWO (2) MUTATIONS occur naturally in DNA per 10,000 bases (Option A is correct).

The mutation rate (u) refers to the occurrence of new mutations in a given nucleotide sequence over time.

In human cells, the mutation rate is approximately 10⁻⁴ per generation.

Therefore, in a DNA sequence that has 10,000 base pairs of length, this value is equal to 2 mutations per generation (u = 2 / 10,000 = 10⁻⁴).  

In conclusion, approximately 2 MUTATIONS occur naturally in DNA per 10,000 bases (Option A is correct).

A. positive, negative

B. negative, positive

C. neutral, positive

D. neutral, negative

Answers

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

The water molecule is a polar substance that has partially charged ions. The hydrogen atom is partially positive, whereas the oxygen atom is partially negative in charge. Thus, option A is correct.

What is polarity?

The polarity of the molecule is defined by the presence of the electrical charges over the elemental atom that results in the formation of the chemical bonds by the electrostatic forces.

Water is an example of a polar molecule that is linked by a covalent bond by sharing the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen atom of the molecule.

The hydrogen atom is said to have a partial positive charge and oxygen has a partial negative charge because of the uneven electron density. The electronegative oxygen pulls the hydrogen towards it.

Therefore, option A. hydrogen is partially positive and oxygen is partially negative.

D. Putting together with light.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

release of energy through the breakdown of glucose

The release of energy through the breakdown of Glucose means Photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities. Some of this chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars and starches, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phōs  "light", and synthesis  "putting together" Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centers that contain green chlorophyll (and other colored) pigments/chromophores. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas.
