An example of natural selection is the tail of a male peacock. The females of the species choose mates based on the colors of th

e males’ tail feathers. If females begin using different criteria than feather color when they choose mates, what would most likely happen to the tails of peacocks over time?

The answer is actually

<em>increased variation in tail feather color because the selection pressure has been relieved</em>

Good luck!

Since the means of reproduction have changed, the population of peacocks would probably start losing their pretty feather colors due to the fact that over time females would be mating with the containing the other trait (and possibly not the pretty feathers). This would then produce offspring with ugly colors but also with the desired trait. This would continue on and on until those with the desired trait outnumbered or possibly extinguished the now unnecessary vibrant feather colors.

True.

Explanation:

Coniferous forest may be defined as the the forest that are generally found in the area with cool winters and warm summers. The forest is the home of the broad leaves tress and needle like leaves.

The evolution of the coniferous forest occur due to the Earth’s continents. By assuming the modern configuration of the continent, the coniferous forest has evolved in the area that has the cool environment in the winter seasons and later leaves evolves according to the external environment.

Which of the following statements about phospholipids is TRUE? A Option A: Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol b
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol backbone is bonded to a small polar group.

Explanation:

Phospholipid is a unique form of lipid. The  bonding of the glycerol backbone to the polar phosphate group makes phospholipid to have dual solubility unlike general triglycerides.

 

The polar head is said to be hydrophillic that is <u>water loving,</u> while the two carbon chains  that  retained lipid features are hydrophobic <u>water hating.</u>

Therefore if a phopholipid is placed in water, in relation  to its functions as component of cell membrane, it forms a bi-layer in which the water loving portion hydrophilic head points into the surrounding watery medium, while the hydrophobic layer points inwards far away from the watery medium into the internal cellular  layer to form an impermeable barrier to hydrophilic (polar) substances.

This forms the basis of   the  phospholipd  bilayer  of the  cell membrane. And it  controls the permeability of the cell membrane to  influx  substances  into the cells.

What encourages flooding by allowing water to run off into streams?
expeople1 [14]

Deforestation encourages flooding by allowing water to run off into streams

<u>Explanation</u>:

Deforestation plays vital roles in the flooding. The roots of the Trees prevent sediment runoffs and forests hold more water than farms or grasslands.Firstly the leaves in the trees will capture some amounts of water which will be eventually evaporated. Secondly, some quantity of water is  absorbed by the tree's roots. Also,Tree roots hold the soil in place, reducing the movement of sediment that can shrink river channels downstream..

The process of deforestation will lead to dislodging of the topsoil. this makes the  topsoil unstable and reduces its capacity to hold down the water
