If an egg cell were treated with EDTA, a chemical that binds calcium and magnesium ions, the fertilization envelope would not form.

An eggshell is a soft outer coat and a semipermeable membrane that is made up of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

It is semi-permeable so air and water can not pass through it and the inside material remains intact.

A small shell or outermost coating called 'cuticle or bloom' prevents bacteria and other microorganisms to get inside the egg shell.

Moreover, egg yolk is a rich source of protein and other beneficial organic compounds.

Egg shell are used as chicken feed.

<span>Stabilizing selection is at work in this case. This is the force that allows a population to gradually center on a mean value due to a presence of a non-extreme bodily trait. The more extreme examples of the trait lead to the organisms being selected out, and the trait that is the least conspicuous wins out in the long-run.</span>

Tiger beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect. However, when running toward an insect
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B) "In pursuing a swerving insect, a beetle alters its course while running and its pauses become more frequent as the chase progresses".

Explanation:

One hypothesis suggest that the tiger beetles stop for a moment when they attack because it can't keep its pace and they have to rest, while the other hypothesis suggest that the tiger beetles could not process the rapidly changing visual information when running. The experiments results would support only the second hypothesis if they show that in pursuing a swerving insect, a beetle alters its course while running and its pauses become more frequent as the chase progresses. If a beetle altering its course have to stop more often than a beetle running straight, it would make sense that it has to stop because is unable to process the changing visual information rapidly enough.
