Answer:

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

30 minutes

Explanation:

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, a process by which one parent cell divides to form 2 progeny cells. Because one cell produces 2 progeny cells, bacteria are said to undergo exponential ( logarithmic) growth.

As in the case of staphylococcus aureus, we start with 100 cells ,  and after 90 minutes number becomes 800 that means  , firstly the cells doubled (100 x 2 = 200 ) after 30 minutes. Again after 30 minutes they doubled ( 200 x 2 =400 ) and again after 30 minutes they doubled (400 x 2 = 800). So in 90 minutes 100 cells became 800 cells.

Hence the generation time for S.aureus is 30 minutes.

Umnica [9.8K]
Dolly was a female fin Dorset sheep,
Although it has been claimed that dolly had 3 mothers. one provided the egg, another the DNA, and a third carried the cloned embryo to term.
So therefore, dolly has the genes of different species of sheeps.

Hope this helped!

Why calcium is necessary for muscle function and neural synaptic activity.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Ch.5: Synaptic Activity

<span>Introduction<span>Otto Loewi studied the heart of the frog, which-like our own hearts- is supplied by two different peripheral nerves. One, the sympathetic nerve, excites the heart and makes it beat more rapidly; the other , the vagus, shows the heart. The problem was to discover the mechanism by which the effects of nerve impulses in either of these nerves are communicated to the heart muscle. Many believed that the electrical nerve impulse spread from the nerve to the muscle as an electrical wave; Loewi thought otherwise.Loewi tested two isolated frog hearts, one with the sympathetic and vagus nerves intact, the other with the nerves removed. A small tube containing salt water was placed in the heart with the nerves attached. When he stimulated the vagus nerve, the heartbeat slowed, as expected. Then he took salt solution that had been in the stimulated heart and placed it inside the heart without nerves. It too immediately slowed- exactly as if its own (missing) vagus nerve had been stimulated.He repeated the same procedure, stimulating the sympathetic nerve instead. The effect was again as if the nerve of the denervated heart itself were stimulated: the denervated heart began beating faster. These results could not be explained electrically; the nerves must have secreted chemicals into the salt solution that directly affect the muscles of the denervated heart.In one simple experiment, Loewi had demonstrated three important findings: (1) that communication at the gap between nerve and heart muscle was chemical, (2) that each nerve released a different transmitter substance, and (3) that it was the characteristics of the different transmitter substances that caused the increase or decrease in heart rate. This was the first direct experimental evidence of the action of chemical neurotransmitters.<span>Like the junction between nerve and heart muscle that Loewi studied, nerve cells communicate with each other at special junctions called synapses. </span></span></span><span><span> thanks and i hope this helps you.....
