Endler's Guppies Experiment on Natural Selection

1 answer:

7 0

In conclusion, an experiment about Natural Selection includes mechanisms, explanation, estimation of the frequency of the trait and comparisons.

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a series of step used to validate evidence and thus formulate theories.

Darwin used the scientific method to draw conclusions about the main mechanism of evolution, i.e., natural selection.

The scientific method involves making a question, providing an explanation of the hypothesis, making observations/experiments (which include experimental and control groups), and drawing conclusions.

The empirical data serve to test a hypothesis (either confirm or reject it) by contrasting its results with predictive outcomes.

The strength of the conclusions can be enhanced by using supporting evidence from other research fields (in this case, for example, the fossil record).

In conclusion, an experiment on Natural Selection includes mechanisms (question), explanation (hypothesis), estimation of the frequency of the trait in the population (prediction) and comparisons (control group).

Predict the missing product of this equation<br><br><br>1 MgF2 + 1 Li2CO3 -> 1 ______ +2LiF

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

MgCO₃

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> __ + 2LiF

The missing part of the equation can be obtained by writing the ionic equation for the reaction between MgF₂ and Li₂CO₃. This is illustrated below:

MgF₂ (aq) —> Mg²⁺ + 2F¯

Li₂CO₃ (aq) —> 2Li⁺ + CO₃²¯

MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —>

Mg²⁺ + 2F¯ + 2Li⁺ + CO₃²¯ —> Mg²⁺CO₃²¯ + 2Li⁺F¯

MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> MgCO₃ + 2LiF

Now, we share compare the above equation with the one given in the question above to obtain the missing part. This is illustrated below:

MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> __ + 2LiF

MgF₂ + Li₂CO₃ —> MgCO₃ + 2LiF

Therefore, the missing part of the equation is MgCO₃

Will mark brilliant pls help question is above

Degger [83]

Answer:

a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.

b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.

If the atmospheric pressure in the laboratory is 1.2 atm, how many moles of gas were in each syringe? (Hint: Choose one volume a

Naily [24]

Answer:

A: 2.525 x 10-4 mol

B: 2.583 x 10-4 mol

Explanation:

Part A:

Data Given:

. Temperature of water (H2O) = 21.3°C

Convert Temperature to Kelvin

T = °C + 273

T = 21.3 + 273 = 294.3 K

volume of (H2O) gaseous state = 5.1 mL

Convert mL to liter

1000 mL = 1L

5.1 ml = 5.1/1000 = 0.0051 L

Pressure = 1.2 atm

. no. of moles = ?

Solution

no. of moles can be calculated by using ideal gas formula

PV = nRT

Rearrange the equation for no. of moles

n=PV/RT......... (1)

where

P = pressure

V = Volume

T= Temperature

n = Number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

where

R = 0.08206 L.atm/ mol. K

Now put the value in formula (1) to calculate no. of moles of

n = 1.2 atm x 0.0051 L / 0.08206 L.atm.mol-1. K-1 x 294.3 K

n = 0.0061 atm.L / 24.162 L.atm.mol-1

n = 2.525 x 10-4 mol

no. of moles of gas (H2O) = 2.525 x 10-4 mol

Part B:

Data Given:

Temperature of water (H2) = 21.3°C

Convert Temperature to Kelvin

T = "C + 273

T= 21.3 + 273 = 294.3 K

volume of (H2) gas = 5.2 mL

Convert mL to liter

1000 mL = 1 L

5.2 ml = 5.2/1000 = 0.0052 L

Pressure = 1.2 atm

. no. of moles = ?

Solution

no. of moles can be calculated by using ideal gas formula

PV = nRT

Rearrange the equation for no. of moles

n= PV / RT......... (1)

where

P = pressure

V = Volume

T= Temperature

n = Number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

where

R = 0.08206 L.atm/mol. K

Now put the value in formula (1) to calculate no. of moles of

n = 1.2 atm x 0.0052 L/0.08206 L.atm.mol-1. K-1 x 294.3 K

n = 0.0062 atm.L/ 24.162 L.atm.mol-1

n = 2.583 x 10-4 mol

no. of moles of gas (H2) = 2.583 x 10-4 mol
