Theoretically, could evolution lead to extinction of a species?

Biology

brilliants [131]3 years ago

This is an interesting question. I'm inclined to say no. In essence, evolution is driving organisms who're better adapted in their own environment with each new generation. Considering this knowledge, it doesn't seem likely that this would correspond to extinction of a species.

Explain ​how​ scientists got the space station up in space. What ​problem​ did they
natta225 [31]

Answer:

scientists got the space station up in space in to small pieces.

Explanation:

The main problem which was faced by the scientist was that there was no powerful rocket which has the ability to lift the whole space station due to its more weight and carry it to the space against the powerful force of gravity. So for solving this problem, space station is taken into pieces into the space and then these pieces should be join to build the space station.

Living organisms respond to changes in environmental conditions such as temperature. Which series lists the correct order in whi
Afina-wow [57]

The correct sequence is option (c)

All the living organisms in the world responds to the environmental conditions and that condition could be temperature, pressure, etc. The changes in the environmental conditions are first observed by the cells of the body and then by the tissues and then from tissues it gets transferred to the organ then to organ system and finally the organism responds to the change.

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>

New Zealand has a population of 4,326,380 and has an area of 103,736 mi squared while Australia has an area of 2,967,909 mi squa
Inga [223]

Population density refers to the determination of population in a unit area or unit volume. It is generally applicable to the living species, and majorly to the humans. It is an essential geographical term and its a quantity of type number density.  

In the given case, it can be seen that New Zealand exhibits a smaller population in comparison to Australia, but it has a greater population density as it encompasses a much smaller region.  

On the other hand, the population of Australia is about five times more than New Zealand, but Australia covers about 30 times more area in comparison to what New Zealand covers.
