When light levels suddenly increase, our eyes adjust quickly by reducing the size of the ______?

Biology
1 answer:
EleoNora [17]3 years ago

Our pupils change size according to the amount of light that surronds us.

More light: smaller pupil
Less light: bigger pupil

It changes size because to see, we need light.
When there is a lot of light the pupil can stay small, but even so, the light will reach our eyes.
When there is a decreased amount of light in our surroundings, the pupils increase size making the chances of capturing light higher.


Hope it helped,

How are the 3 stages of cell division similar to how new animals are created?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Cell divison is defined as the process in which a parent cell split into two or more daughter cells. There are three stages of cell division that includes interphase, mitosis/meiosis and cytokinesis.

In the interphase the proteins, enzymes and cell organelles are formed and at the end of this phase single strand chromosome becomes a double strand carrying genes.

In the meiosis (in sexual reproduction) or mitosis (asexual reproduction) phase, divison of nucleus takes place. Meiosis gives rise to geneticaly different cells due to crossing over while mitosis leads to  identical cells .

Cytokinesis occurs cocurrently after meiosis or mitosis in which cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells each with identical chromatin.

Creation of new animals are also undergo these 3 stages of cell division that is interphase, meiosis (eukaryotes)/mitosis (prokaryotes) and cytokinesis. Majority of animals (eukaryotes) undergo meiosis phase because their mode of reproduction sexual and have genetic variation due to crossing over of chromosomes and produces 4 daughter cells at the end cell division.

Hence, the 3 stages of cell division is similar to craetion of new animals.

What distinguishes disruptive and directional selection pressures when both select for extreme genetic traits?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Yes both are different. In directional selection one of the extreme traits is favored, whereas in disruptive selection both the extreme traits are favored.

Explanation:

Directional: If selection acts to eliminate one extreme form and supports the other extreme then the peak shifts in the direction which is selected by the nature.

Disruptive: If the selection does not favor the mean character value, rather favors both the peripheral character values then this kind of selection is called disruptive selection.

Based on the trilobite fossil, what can you infer about the rock layers in these location? Layer a is 500 million years old. Lay
frozen [14]

Answer: Layer a is 500 million years old.

Explanation:

Trilobite is a member of the group of extinct arthropods found as fossils and they can be identified by the three-lobed as well as three segmented forms. These were the marine animals. These were appeared initially in the Cambrian Period. They used to live 542 million years ago so the fossils can be estimated to be aged of 500 above years old. These animals used to dominate in the sea area.
