Kipish [7]3 years ago

<span>Natural selection has 4 processes.</span>

<span>Individuals looks different and have different characteristics from another within their own species (genetic variation). Some characteristics suits better for the environment, which has to be passed on from one generation to the next. The humming birds with long bills will mate with those that have that too so they'll produce offspring with long bills. </span>

<span>The second process is over production of offspring. The humming birds produces lots of offspring but only a few survives. </span>

<span>Another factor of natural selection is struggle for existence, which leads to differential survival and reproduction. There are environmental pressures, like not having enough space or food, for example, humming birds compete fiercely for resources like nectar. Natural selection will favor individuals that are more efficient at getting nectar and natural selection will result in changes in wing shape which can allow them to fly longer distance and affect the length and shape of bill for them to drink nectar. Little changes may affect how well they feed and survive. Those who are the fittest survives and are most likely to reproduce and pass on their advantageous genes to their offspring. If the long bills are more advantageous and can survive better in a particular environment, then overtime, those with short bills will disappear because they can't survive and the entire population would have long bills.</span>

Alizarin yellow is a pH indicator that transitions from red to yellow when the pH falls from a value of 11 to below 10. Why is p
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The correct answer is - acidic conditions wouldn't trigger a change in the color of Alizarin yellow.

Explanation:

The growth of E. coli generally occurs at neutral pH, however, its growth is normal at acidic conditions as well.  The change in the growth of  E. coli is not able to detect by alizarin.

The phenol red turns yellow in the presence of an acid, and the change in pH in an alkaline environment can be detected by the red color of phenol red. Growth of E.coli will grow in pH of 10-12 . But, very slowly. The color change in alizarin is also apparent at pH 10.2 to 12 only.
