Answer:

The correct answer is option - B.

Explanation:

Clams are the bivalve mollusks that are classified as a consumer or the filter feeder as they internalize the particles and the suspended nutrients and matter in the water to carry out energy and nutrients for them.

These are known as a consumer due to their bivalve body and get its specific structure which is using gills to filter the food or nutrients particle. This makes the clams unique as some other bivalves organisms.

Thus, the correct answer is option - B.

Identify a signal the brain sends out after the nervous system sends the signal that pH has dropped.
spin [16.1K]

In response to a notification of a <u>decrease</u> in blood pH by the nervous system, the brain sends signals to the external intercostal muscles and the diaphragm.

<h3>What is blood pH?</h3>

Blood pH can be defined as a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions that are present in the blood of a living organism, with respect to its acidity, neutrality or alkanlity (basicity).

In response to a notification of a <u>decrease</u> in blood pH by the nervous system, the brain would send signals (impulses) to the external intercostal muscles and the diaphragm through its respiratory center, so as to help the living organism increase its breathing rate and the volume of its lungs during inhalation.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.
