How does research into natural selection and traits help you understand why some butterflies have coloration that looks like the

coloration of a hungry owl?

QveST [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer/Explanation:

Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.

If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.

Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .

Patent fingerprints, or visible fingerprints, are left on a smooth surface when blood, ink, or some other liquid comes in contac
lana [24]

Answer:

Answer is option A (True).

Explanation:

The fingerprint pattern of an individual is unique as no two individuals have the same pattern and it remains unchanged. So fingerprints are considered as one of the main types of physical evidence that can be recovered from a crime scene for identification purposes.

The three types of fingerprint impressions are;

Patent fingerprints or visible fingerprints - They are visible prints that are left on a smooth surface of another object when foreign substances such as blood, ink, or some other liquid present on the skin of a finger come in contact with the surface. These prints are easily identifiable and are visible with the naked eye without any technological enhancements.

Plastic prints - They are visible, three-dimensional prints that are left on soft surfaces such as freshly painted surfaces or materials like wax, gum, clay, soap, etc when a finger comes in contact with that surface resulting in an indentation. These prints are easily observable and no enhancement is required.

Latent prints - They are invisible fingerprint impressions that are left on a surface as a result of the perspiration, moisture or oil found in the ridges of fingers. Since they are not visible to the naked eye, enhancement is required upon their collection.

When observing a bird skin cell in g2 under a microscope, you count 160 total chromatids. how many chromosomes does a male chick
zloy xaker [14]
When a cell is in G2 phase, it has already doubled in S phase its DNA, meaning that for each chromosome we have two chromatids -> 2n(number of chromosomes)×2(number of chromatids per chromosome)=number of chromatids.
If 160 is the number of chromatids on G2 phase of a chicken cell, it means that the cell has 80 chromosomes (2n), and after meiosis, process to form a sperm cell, will only have 40 chromosomes (n).
