In around 50 years, the peppered moth population changed from nearly all light wings to nearly all dark wings. Explain exactly how the moth population changed (evolved).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of directional colour change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. ... Later, when pollution was reduced, the light-coloured form again predominated.

To what other kind of "The Leap" might the title refer?

Answers

The title could refer to her days as a circus performer when she was performing the trapeze and the storm hit and she had to leap in order to save her life. Also when the narrator was stuck in her room because of the fire and the mother leaped from the thin branch to the roof in hopes of saving her daughter.

Answer:

1)Her first physical leap is that of one of the Flying Avalons as she saves her life in the storm that toppled the big top.

2)Her second physical leap is that of climbing a tree and leaping from a branch that hangs over the roof of her house so that she can rescue her daughter from the burning bedroom

3)Her figurative leap is that of learning to read in the hospital where she meets her second husband, the physician who set her arm and read to her while it mended.

Anna Avalon has told her daughter that as one flies through the air there is definitely time to think. "I know that she's right." The narrator's mother has

Within a population of rabbits, black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). A scientist observes 16% white rabbits on an island. The dominant allele frequency of this population is

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

According to hardyweinberg principle

p+q= 1

P2+2pq+q2=1

given that

Black fur =B =p(dominant allele)

White fur =b =q (recessive allele)

q2=16%

16/100=0.16

q=√0.16

q=0.4

Since p+q=1

P=1-q

P=1-0.4

P=0.6

Therefore the allele frequency for dominant organism Black fur is 0.6

Explanation:

A population of lizards carry a gene for scale color in which the dominant allele produces green scales while the recessive allele codes for brown scales. In the first generation, you determine that 75% of the population is green and 25% of the population is brown. In the second generation, you determine that 50% of the population is green and 50% of the population is brown. Finally, in the third generation, you determine that 25% of the population is green and 75% of the population is brown. Which of the following correctly explains this change in the genotype frequencies?(1 point)

The lizards mate randomly with each other.

The brown color is an adaptation that is being selected by the environment.

The lizards remain isolated from other lizards, only mating with lizards in their own population.

The DNA of these lizards carries no mutations from one generation to the next.

Answers

Answer:

1) There are no mutations in the DNA of the population.

2) The brown color is an adaptation that is being selected by the environment.

3) The number of individuals displaying each phenotype in both the current generation and the offspring.

4)The recessive phenotype in this population may serve as an adaptation in this environment.

5) A population of flies that maintains a population size of at least 1 million individuals.

Explanation:

just took the test (connexus student)

Correct answers are :

No mutations in the DNA.The brown color is an adaptation.individuals displaying current generation, offspring.Rcessive phenotype adaptation.Flies population has a size of at least 1 mn.What is a genotype?

A genotype is a set of genetic material that characterize an organism and is also used or refer to the allies or the variant of that individual that carries genetic material.

The population of lizards has a gene for scale color that is a domain allele. The brown color is due to the adaptation of the species.

What is the difference between a specialized plant cell and a specialized animal cell?​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Major structural differences between a plant and an animal cell include: Plant cells have a cell wall, but animals cells do not. Chloroplasts enable plants to perform photosynthesis to make food. Plant cells usually have one or more large vacuole(s), while animal cells have smaller vacuoles if any are present.

What is photosynthesis, and what is it's main goal?

Answers

Answer: Photosynthesis is the process of when a plant makes it's own food, and the main goal is to convert solar energy to chemical energy.

Explanation: Plants use photosynthesis by taking the sunlight, to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Since plants can't move and consume other organisms, they use photosynthesis. The formula is: [tex]6CO_2+6H_2O=C_6H_1_2O_6+6O_2[/tex].

Like I said, the main goal is converting solar energy to chemical energy then store the chemical energy for future use, for example it can be used for Chemical batteries, Natural gas, Heat, Food, etc.

The Punnett square shows that 50% of their children will have the AO genotype and 50% will have the BO genotype. Neither of these genotypes give the child type O blood, so it is impossible for the child to have type O blood. The child would need two O alleles.

The answers are the following:
-Rust

-Stalk rot

—Evidence—
•] Rusts are plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi of the order Pucciniales.

•] Wheat yellow mosaic (usually called wheat spindle streak mosaic) is caused by a soilborne virus which also is transmitted by the soilborne fungus, Polymyxa graminis.

•] Blight spreads by fungal spores that are carried by insects, wind, water and animals from infected plants, and then deposited on soil. The disease requires moisture to progress, so when dew or rain comes in contact with fungal spores in the soil, they reproduce.

•] Fusarium stalk rot, primarily caused by the fungus Fusarium verticilliodes, is a common disease in the Midwest. This fungus also causes Fusarium ear rot and can infect roots, stalks, and leaf nodes. It is most common in hot, dry years.

Stem tuber ---- Potato

Conditioned reflex ---- Pavlov's experiment

Blood circulation ---- William harvey

Pancreas ---- Insulin

Autotrophs ------ Blue green algae

Active transport ---- Minerals

Note: Chlorosis has no matching item in the list. Explanation is given below.

Explanation:

Stem tubers are plants which store their food in their stems. Potatoes are stem tubers.

Conditioned reflex is a reflex is acquired gradually by training in association with specific repeated external stimuli. For example, the Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov's  performed experiments on conditioned reflex using a dog. He demonstrated that a dog will salivate on the sound of a bell even if there is no food given to it if the ringing of the bell preceded every feeding session of the dog.

William Harvey discovered the circulation of blood and the function of the heart .

The islets of Langerhans found in the Pancreas secretes the hormone, insulin.

Autotrophs are organisms which are able to manufacture their own food, Blue green algae are examples of autotrophs.

Active transport is transport which requires expenditure of energy and occurs against the concentration gradient of the substance being transported. Because the concentration of minerals in the soil are in very low concentration, active transport is used by the root hair cells carrier proteins to move mineral ions across the membrane into the cell against the concentration gradient. ATP hydrolysis provides the energy for this process.

Chlorosis is a disease which appears as the yellowing of leaves in plants and in human a green tinging of the skin which is caused by the deficiency of minerals especially iron and manganese.

Evolution means change in the physical features of an organism.

Explanation:

Evolution means change in the physical features of an organism. Evolution occurs in the population of an organisms due to various factors such as mutation, non-random mating and natural selection. Nonrandom mating occurs when an organism prefer mating with particular superior organisms or with the similar organism. Mutation in the genetic makeup of an organism is also responsible evolution. this mutation occurs when an organism experience ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or also occur if an error in DNA during cell division. Gene flow is also known as gene migration is the transfer of genetic material or traits from one population to another when the organism is migrated to another environment. Some organisms are selected naturally because they have the potential to survive in that environment so they survive and that doesn't adopt itself to the environment, it will extinct from the environment.
