Answer:

variation

Explanation:

Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA.  The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment.  Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes.  Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.

Example: Peppered moth

In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark.  The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten.  The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten.  Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat.  By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%.  This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.

Which of these converts light energy into chemical energy?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Light-dependent reactions

Explanation:

First of all, the light-independent reactions and the same thing as the Calvin cycle, so your teacher wouldn't put them in the same question if one of them was correct.  Aside from that, even if you have no idea what these things are we can use the names of them to see which one light is involved in.  Aha!  It's the light-dependent reactions because they're dependent on light (and water) to make the chemical energy (NADPH and ATP) to pass on to the next stage, the light-independent reactions.

During expiration, the volume of the thorax __________ as the diaphragm __________
tino4ka555 [31]
<span>Answer:During expiration, the volume of the thorax decreases as the diaphragm rises/relaxes.

In expiration the air gets out of the lungs and it's not occupying as much space in the lungs, so the volume of the thorax will decrease. Meanwhile, the diaphragm can go to his relaxed stage and move </span><span><span>superiorly</span>

A cell that has 6 chromosomes in the G2 phase will have how many sister chromatids during that same phase
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

12 chromatids.

Explanation:

If a cell has 6 chromosomes in the G2 phase will have 12 sister chromatids during that same phase because replication of chromosomes occurs which produces two exact copies of each chromosomes. Then 6 chromatids are distributed in one daughter cell while the other 6 chromatids are distributed in other daughter cell and finally the cell division occurs.
