The theory of evolution provides a number of insights:
-it tells us how the species are related
-it tells us how the species and populations react to the changes in their environment
With this knowledge, the scientists can predict how the species will react to the potential changes and support the positive changes (provide a good environment for the animals for example) <span />
Answer:
H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacteria that maintains homeostasis of the human body by establishing chronic infection from ulcers and gastritis and using the method of autophagy to cleanse the body of damaged cells. H. pylori also contributes to the workings of the immune defense system.
Complete question:
You hang a swing from a live tree branch that is roughly parallel to the ground. What will likely happen over time as the tree grows? Check All That Apply
- The swing will move farther away from the tree trunk.
- The swing will move up. away from the ground.
- The swing will remain in its original position.
- The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Answer:
The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Explanation:
The trunk or branch strangulation sadly occurs very often. When people tie a young tree with different materials, such as a rope, or a cable, or a wire, and leave it there, the leash will eventually strangulate the tree.
Strangulation occurs because the tree keeps growing, applying pressure on the leash. The vascular system is in the trunk perimeter under the crust. Through the years, the pressure increases, the trunk is even more strangulated, and the vascular system is affected. One of the first and principal effects of strangulation is the increase in the trunk or branch diameter over the leash. This diameter change is because elements of the sap can not go back to the roots and keep near the strangulation. At this point, there are two options:
- The tree can sort this by including the leash in its tissues, surrounding and absorbing it, and keep growing normally
or
- The vascular system is so affected that the tree can not sort this problem and so, those parts of the tree located over the leash dye.
<em>In the exposed example, it seems that the tree could make it and included the swing's ropes in the branch. </em>
Mutation is random because there is really no way of knowing whether a child will inherit it, whereas natural selection is predisposed in either parent.
