In a species of snail, dark-shelled individuals are better hidden from bird predators in the shady forest, while light-shelled i

ndividuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. If there were no areas of intermediate brightness in this habitat,which type of selection would act on shell color in these snails?

Answer:

Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is the type of natural selection wherein two extreme phenotypes are favored due to their survival and reproductive success over the intermediate phenotype. It results in two peaks of distribution in the normal distribution curve.

In the given example, two extreme phenotypes with respect to the shell color of snails are favored in two different habitats. Dark shelled snails exhibit survival advantage in the shady forest while the light shelled snails are favored in well-lit habitats.

Since two extreme shell colors are favored over the intermediate-range by natural selection, it represents disruptive selection.

Domain is a newer portion of the classification system that includes Eukarya and Prokarya. What information most likely dictated
olga2289 [7]

New data about evolutionary relationship between organisms

Explanation:

New data about the evolutionary relationship between organisms most likely dictated that the domain level is adopted.

  • Evolutionary trends and morphological relationship between organisms became very important in the classification system.

Organisms are classified into the domain levels as:

  1. Archaea,
  2. Bacteria,
  3. Eukarya

This classification is based on the sequences of nucleotides in the cell.

How do substrate concentration and pH affect enzyme-controlled reactions
Dima020 [189]
For example, pH can have an effect of the state of ionization of acidic or basic amino acids. Acidic amino acids have carboxyl functional groups in their side chains. Basic amino acids have amine functional groups in their side chains. If the state of ionization of amino acids in a protein is altered then the ionic bonds that help to determine the 3-D shape of the protein can be altered. This can lead to altered protein recognition or an enzyme might become inactive.

Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis.

In geneal enzyme have a pH optimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme.

Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids A) True B) False
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

  • Sound is a form of Energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears.
  • Sound is produced as a result of vibration produced in a body.
  • Sound energy is transmitted from one place o other place by wave motion.
  • When a body vibrates, the particles of medium surrounding it starts vibrating about their mean position.
  • During vibration, they collide with the surrounding particle and transfer some energy to them.
  • They then start vibrating faster and transferring  energy to the next surrounding particle. This process continues till the vibration reaches a person ear.
  • Thus, particles are an important factor in propagation of sound.
  • Sound cannot travel in vacuum.
  • It requires a medium to travel from one point to another.
  • A sound can travel in all medium, solids, liquids and gases as all of these have particles.
  • The speed of sound is highest in solids and lowest in gases as the inter molecular space is largest in gases and smallest  in solids.
