Answer:
If sunspots are active, more solar flares will result creating an increase in geomagnetic storm activity for Earth. Therefore during sunspot maximums, the Earth will see an increase in the Northern and Southern Lights and a possible disruption in radio transmissions and power grids.
Answer:
It represents the first stage in the chemical oxidation of glucose by a cell.
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the first stage of oxidation of glucose by the process of cellular respiration. Glycolysis includes the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Substrate level phosphorylation forms net 2 ATP molecules and the redox reactions of glycolysis uses NAD+ as an electron acceptor resulting in the formation of 2 NADH.
Therefore, one molecule of glucose obtains 2 pyruvate molecules, 2ATP and 2 NADH by glycolysis. The fate of pyruvate depends on the availability of oxygen. Citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are the next two stages of aerobic cellular respiration.
In this case, c) mimicry is the answer. In Batesian mimicry in which harmless animals mimic toxic animals. In this case, I assume the milk snake is harmless and the coral snake is venomous. Since the milk snake has a trait similar to deadly coral snake, less animals would eat it thinking it is dangerous. Over time all the milk snake that look like the deadly coral snake would survive leading to evolution by natural selection. This would lead to more and more milk snake mimicking the resemblance of the deadly coral snake.
a) The deadly coral snake has a warning color adaptive radiation. If the question had described the environment and how the snaked adapted to the environment via warning coloration. This would've been correct.
b) cryptic coloration is more about camouflage with the environment. If the question had state how a certain feature help one of the animals blend into the background. This would've been correct.
d) I'm not sure whats different between this and a so i'll consider them both the same.
Answer:
The phrase "disease is an agent of natural selection" means that those individuals which carry specific genes to resist the disease will be selected by the nature, whereas those individuals which that don't have or not capable of developing resistance genes will be excluded.
It is a well-established fact that diseases (mainly outbreaks) are best action of nature to select only those individuals which can modify there genetic material and thrive against the changing environmental conditions. Let's take the example of Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) this year. From the statistics we know that old people that develop the disease are most likely killed within a few days. However, young people can develop immunity against the virus easily. Hence, nature selects young people and exclude older people. This natural phenomenon is however driven by the disease.
