A contracture develops when normally elastic connective tissues are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues.
<span>A contracture is a deformity which forms as the result of stiffness or constriction in the connective tissues. This can occur in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin. As a result, contracture deformity restricts normal movement because pliable connective tissues become less flexible.</span>

Contracture develops when normally elastic connective tissue are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues. 
Contracture is the prolonged state of shortening or tightened tissue. Contracture develops when the normally stretchy tissues are replaced by non stretchy fiber-like tissue. This tissue makes it hard to stretch the area and prevents normal movement. It mostly occurs in the skin, the tissues underneath, and the muscles, tendons, ligaments surrounding a joint.

The amount of time spend in the bathtub and the temperature of the bath water
lesya692 [45]
Hihi!

<span>In general the water should be kept around 100-105 degrees fahrenheit! You should only spend around 10 minutes in the bath at a time, long bathes and showers damage your skin and take out all the moisture in your skin as well!

I hope I helped!

Can plzzz <br>put the explanations was to why one is correct and why the others are wrong​
ch4aika [34]

Hi there!

<h3>Question 15:</h3>

We can see from the graph the spikes during the dry years in beak size, which happen every single time there is a dry year. We can then reasonably infer that this would happen with an extended period of drought, however more significantly as well.

This makes your answer B, the birds with larger beaks would be more numerous.

Looking through the other answer choices - A is incorrect, as just stated above the larger ones would likely become more numerous. C is also incorrect, as we can see from the graph during dry years it does influence ground finches. Finally, D is also incorrect, as we can see the average obviously moving upwards to those with bigger beaks.

<h3>Question 16:</h3>

We are given that during dry years, the finches eat larger seeds as the smaller seeds are less abundant. This means that those finches with larger beaks would have an advantage for survival, as it is easier for them to eat these larger seeds compared to those with smaller beaks. This then means that more and more finches with larger beaks would survive, making the overall population have larger beaks over time.

This makes your answer C, different adaptations gave some birds a better chance for survival.

Looking through the other answer choices - A is incorrect, as they cannot just decide to acquire larger beaks. B is incorrect, as mutations do not just happen and cause such a big shift, and in an efficient direction (most mutations end up not affecting the animal at all. Finally, D is incorrect, as I don't think beaks have the capability of getting larger as they are exercised more.

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions about this specific problem.

Could elodea or paramecium from a freshwater lake be expected to survive if transplanted into the ocean? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE EX
zvonat [6]

Answer: No

Explanation: Elodea or Paramecium live in fresh-water lakes and they are not adaptive to salt-water. Oceans are salty and the cells will lose water due to osmosis and eventually dry up and fall apart.
