The correct answer is D. More African elephants today naturally lack tusks compared to the elephant populations 100 years ago, because big game hunters sought elephants for ivory.

Explanation:

In biology, selection occurs as certain organisms with adaptative characteristics prevail over time as they are more likely to reproduce and survive, while organisms with other characteristics disappear. This process can occur by artificial means as human beings intervene in selection.

According to this, the one that is an example of artificial selection is "More African elephants today naturally lack tusks compared to the elephant populations 100 years ago, because big game hunters sought elephants for ivory", because in this case, elephants without tusks are more likely to survive and reproduce and due to this, they are more common today which explains selection. However, this process occurred mainly because of poachers which means there is intervention from human beings and therefore the selection is artificial.

Based on the formula for kinetic energy, how will the temperature change if you increase the average velocity of the molecules i
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Temperature will increase

Explanation:

As we know

KE = \frac{2}{3} RT

Where KE represents the Kinetic Energy, R represents the gas constant and T represents the temperature.

As the kinetic energy increases, the velocity of the gas molecules increases due to which the gas molecule start moving rapidly and hence exerts higher amount of force on the wall of the container in which it is kept.

The higher force leads to generation of higher pressure and hence the higher temperature.

What roles do neurotransmitters play in the development of schizophrenia?.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Research suggests schizophrenia may be caused by a change in the level of 2 neurotransmitters: dopamine and serotonin. Some studies indicate an imbalance between the 2 may be the basis of the problem. Others have found a change in the body's sensitivity to the neurotransmitters is part of the cause of schizophrenia.

1.How would you differentiate your heart rate before and after exercising?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Your heart rate before exercising would probably be the at rest rate of say about 50-60 beats per minute whereas immediately after exercise it could easily be say 115-130 and depending on age there is an optimum heart rate for each age range which decreases somewhat with age. Timing for a full minute your heart rate is best as it will give the actual count whereas if you just do it for 10 seconds and then multply by 6  it would assume it will be consistent whereas it could decrease during the minute so the actual measured count for a full minute is more accurate.
