How can natural selection account for the long snout of an anteater ?

First of all, the purpose of natural selection is to "weed out" the organisms in a species with imperfect qualities.  Basically, it's evolution's way of making the species that best it can be.

An anteater eats insects (namely, ants) by sticking its snout and tongue through anthills and the ground.  Obviously, the longer the snout of the anteater, the more possible bugs it can reach and, therefore, eat.  So, over millions of years, anteaters with shorter snouts were not able to reach enough bugs and ended up dying.  The anteaters with longer snouts had more food available because they could reach more bugs, so they were able to live long enough to reproduce and produce offspring with the preferred trait:  having a longer snout.

What are two things that can be done to maximize the chances of recovering parasites from a fecal smear?
RideAnS [48]
<span>Sedimentation - uses solutions of lower specific gravity than the organisms, which concentrated in the sediment. This technique is recommended for general diagnostic laboratories because it is easy to perform and less prone to technical errors.

Flotation - this technique uses solutions of higher specific gravity than the parasitic organisms so the organisms float and the debris sinks producing a cleaner material while the disadvantage is that walls of cysts and eggs collapse that may blocking its identification.<span>

Recall that DNA is
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

25 nucleotide sequence pair

Explanation:

There are four nucleotide sequence pair present in DNA. and if we have 100 nucleotide so 25 nucleotide sequence pairs will be formed and each pair contains adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Cytosine nucleotide paired with guanine nucleotide and Adenine nucleotide paired with thymine nucleotide . They have hydrogen bonds between each bases.

Calculate the molarity of 0.75 L of a solution containing 0.83 g of dissolved KCI. A 0.015 M B 0.75 M C 1.1 M D 6.2​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

A 0.015M

Explanation:

Molarity, which refers to the molar concentration of a solution, can be calculated using the formula:

Molarity (M) = mole (n) / volume (L)

Based on the information provided in this question, the solution contains 0.83 g of dissolved KCI.

We can calculate the number of moles of KCl in the solution by using the formula:

Mole = mass ÷ molar mass

Where atomic mass of; K = 39, Cl = 35.5

Molar Mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5

= 74.5g/mol.

Mole = 0.83g/74.5g/mol.

mole = 0.01114

Approximately, n = 0.011mol

Hence, molarity = 0.011mol/0.75L

Molarity = 0.0146

Molarity = 0.015M
