Students wanted to perform an experiment to mimic natural selection. They noted that small plants growing in the school garden h

ad projections that extended from the leaves. These projections are called trichomes. They hypothesized that the trichomes protect the plant from herbivory, when herbivores eat the leaves from the plants and cause damage. The students counted the average number of trichomes per leaf and plotted this on the top graph, shown here. They then selected parent plants that had a higher than average trichome number per leaf to pollinate, creating a new generation of plants. The distribution of average trichome number for the second generation is shown in the bottom graph.
Which statements below are supported by the information shown here?
A) The trichome number is controlled by a genetic factor.
B) Directional selection occurred due to the student's experiment.
C) Herbivores can no longer consume the plants in the second generation.
D) The genotypic frequencies of the first and second generation should be identical.
E) Artificial selection can alter phenotype frequencies in as few as two generations.

Which word identifies the agent that carries the energy released from earthquakes?
Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct answer is seismic waves.  

A sudden movement of the Earth's crust followed by the production of seismic waves is known as an earthquake. The seismic waves travel outwards from the source. The sudden vibration or ground motion is generated due to a brisk discharge of accumulated energy.  

The vibrations, which travel via Earth carrying the energy discharged at the time of an earthquake is known as seismic waves. The earthquakes are usually determined with a help of seismometer, called seismograph.

fomenos

Answer:

As skin cells move toward the surface of the body, they produce a protein that reduces water loss. This process is called Keratinization.

Explanation:

Keratinization is a process which changes the stratum corneum of the skin to a hard cover which provides protection.

The process of keratinization involves polymerization of keratin polypeptides. The keratin polypeptides gets polymerized into intermediate filaments of keratin. Each of the intermediate filament of keratin constitute around 30,000 polypeptides of keratin.

In a population of beetles, some are green, some are brown, and some are mixed. If the beetles live in vegetation, the ________
MAVERICK [17]

The answer would be brown because all the other beetles have some sort of camouflage while the brown beetle sticks out in all of that green. Hope this helps. :)
