How do genetics play a role in evolution?​

Biology

Stells [14]2 years ago
3 0

A few of these characteristics are favourable and are called as beneficial mutations which provide a better survival benefit to changing surroundings. Evolution of a new class of species altogether occurs when a permanent change takes place in the phenotype of an entity as a result of natural selection and competition when an environment continues to stay for longer durations incorporating better-adapted entities.

Gene mutations cause the evolution we observe. It causes a change either in the organization or amount of genetic material in a cell. Such a mutation if occurred in a gamete can be easily inherited by the emerging gamete. New alleles of genes are produced as a result of mutations and hence the variations between entities. Therefore, genes and genetic mutations play a significant role in the process of evolution.

What is a biological approach to determining when a mother and her conceptus become separate individuals?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

<em>Electroencephalography.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Electroencephalography is used to measure brain activity in terms of electrical activity. It is done by attaching electrodes on the scalp, or sometimes by placing electrodes directly in the brain. Using electroencephalography can help determine when the fetus starts having its own brain activities, which means that it is now a separate entity distinguishable from its mother. Using electroencephalography to see brain waves can give us a deeper insight into the age old complicated issue of when a mother and her conceptus become separate individuals.

Sodium Hydroxide + Copper Sulfate
AnnyKZ [126]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Reaction for observation: Sodium Hydroxide + Copper Sulfate

Full reaction:

                         2NaOH + CuSO4 --> Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4

<h3>Part 1.</h3>

Observations Before Interaction:

Sodium hydroxide is a turbid solution and copper sulfate is in form of bright blue crystals.

<h3>Part 2:</h3>

Observations After Interaction:

When their solutions are mixed with each other, a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulphate will be formed.

<h3>Part 3:</h3>

Was Mass Conserved?

Yes, mass was conserved.

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that "mass cannot be created or destroyed, but changed into different forms".

Hence mass was conserved.

<h3>Part 4.</h3><h3>.Proof of a Chemical Reaction</h3>

The proof of the reaction is the appearance of pale blue precipitates of of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulphate.

What Happened to the Anchovy? - Part 2
Charra [1.4K]

Note about the question:

You will find the graph in the attached files.

Answer:

A) overfishing in previous years and warm waters with few nutrients

Explanation:

Under El Niño conditions, there is a tropical stream, which is usually weak, that acquires strength while the opposite streams debilitate. This event impedes warm water to go eastward, remaining in South America´s coasts, which produces unusual precipitations in Chile followed by floral bloom in Atacama desert and fewer precipitations events in Eastsouth Asia and North Australia. During and after the El Niño, occurs a fishery crisis because there is no upwelling on the coasts of South America, nutrients from the bottom do no ascend, and fish populations remain equal or decrease.    

Around 1970, there was e<u>xcessive overexploitation of fishes</u>. This overfishing probably led to a significant decrease in the anchovy population size, reducing the number of individuals in the reproductive stage, especially the females. The graph reflects that during the following years, there were also peaks in anchovy catch. The population did not have enough time to recover from the highest peak in 1970.

From 1982-1983 El Niño event was severe. No upwelling meant no nutrients to survive, and that the remaining anchovy population, previously affected by fishery, hardly made it that year. There was probably a fishery crisis, and hence, no animals were caught in 1984.
