suppose that a species of toads is introduced into a new environment in an attempt to reduce the population of insects.

qaws [65]

Answer: If they are introduced to a new environment unlike their previous ones, which is wet, damp, moist, and humid areas, the population of toads in the area will most likely die, and the insects will become overpopulated (or rapidly grow)

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: There re two different types of phenotypes in the offsprings that is Round yellow and Round green.

Explanation-

As per the Mendelian inheritance, Round shape and yellow color of pea are dominant over wrinkled shape and green color of pea.

According to the question, genotypes of parents are- RrYy ( heterzygous for round and yellow) and RRYy ( homozygous for round and heterozygous for yellow).

The first parent can produce four different gametes that is RY, Ry, rY, ry whereas the second parent will produce only two types of gametes that is RY and Ry.

When they are crossed, they will produce two different phenotypes in the offsprings.

Evolution is the

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Evolution is the biological process that happens over time in a population, giving rise to new species. The theory of evolution states that all organisms alive on Earth today have a common ancestor which lived years ago.

Explanation:

Evolution is one of the fundamental reason of diverse life on Earth today. Principally, this process takes place by changes in genetic elements via mutations and crossing-over. The positive changes (mutations) allow the organism to develop better condition in order to survive in changing environmment. However, if the changes takes place at major scale, it also leads to the creation/development of new species. To explain this further, I have added a photograph where we can see how different organisms were evolved in the history of Earth.
