Mariana [72]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The one of best example would be appendix in humans.

Explanation:

In the past, the appendix may have helped in the digestion of the plants by producing mucus and prevent any type of infection. Plants with a high content of cellulose are digested with the help of the appendix as reported.

It is not a part of the human digestive system and considers as a vestigial organ. Vestigial organs are the organs that are present in an organism with no particular function and their removal will not lead to any harm. Humans do not need it because our digestive system is more efficient and works better in the first stages of digestion than they used to.

Thus, the correct answer is - appendix in humans.

Amoeba sisters video recap: Genetic Drift
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Genetic drift is simply a change in the frequency of alleles in a population.

Like shown in the comic A, there are different genes present on chromosomes. All of these genes are made up of a pair of alleles. These alleles determine the genotype and the resulting phenotype of an organism.

If none of the alleles is favored by the environment, then a population will have equal no.of all the variant forms of a trait. Like shown in the comic B, both the green and the grey animals are favored equally.

But if natural selection occurs and one form of the allele variant is favored, then a genetic drift will occur. Most of the organisms will have the alleles which are favored by the environment. Like shown in Comic C, where the grey alleles are favored more than the green alleles.

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation:I hope it helps . i have breifly explained it .

Oxygen gas is one of the products of photosynthesis.

Which reactant is the source for oxygen gas and how is it released?

A .

Water, released when sunlight splits it into oxygen and hydrogen ions

B .

Glucose, released when glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas and water

C .

Carbon dioxide, released when sunlight splits it into carbon and oxygen gas

D .

Electrons, released when they strike the chloroplasts

Green plants capture energy and convert it into chemical energy by the process known as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into simple carbohydrates and oxygen is liberated into the atmosphere.

light

6CO2 + 12H2O ----------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

chlorophyll

Water is also used as a source of hydrogen required for reduction of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrate.

Water is oxidised in presence of light and chlorophyll. Hydrogen is removed from water and oxygen is released as follows:

light

4‎H20 ---------------> 2‎H20 + 4H+ + 4e− + O2

chlorophyll

or,  

2‎H2O ----------------> 4H+ + 4e− + O2

Hence the source for oxygen gas is water and it is released when water splits in the presence of sunlight into oxygen and hydrogen ions.

So, the correct answer is 'Water, released when sunlight splits it into oxygen and hydrogen ions'.

You've just read a research project titled: "Prolonged cell phone use causes brain tumors."
kvasek [131]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) number of patients with brain tumors</em>

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, an independent variable is a variable which is being changed by the scientist or changes naturally. The effect of the independent variable is studied on another variable which is termed as the dependent variable. Hence, the dependent variable can be described as the variable which is under study in a scientific experiment.

In the following scenario, as the effect of prolonged cell phones is being tested on causing brain tumors hence, the number of patients with brain tumors will be the dependent variable.
