garik1379 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I believe the options are:

1) Present day species developed from earlier species .

2) Some species die out when environmental changes occur .

3) Complex organism develop from simple organisms over time .

4) Change occurs according to the needs of an individual.

The answer is 4) Change occurs according to the needs of an individual.

Explanation:

Theory of Evolution:

  • By definition, evolution is the process of change in an individual's/organism's characteristics over time. Evolution occurs through mutations in the genetic information or DNA of an individual.
  • The theory of evolution states that all organisms change over time and are descendants of a single common ancestor. Species adapt to the changing environment by introducing variations in their DNA over millions of years. Harsh environment conditions eliminate organisms that cannot adapt to the changing environment and only the fittest survive. This is called natural selection.
  • This process, occurring over millions of years, results in the formation of an entirely new species.
  • The theory of evolution is contrary to the concept of Lamarckism or inheritance of acquired characters which states that characters that an organism acquires during its lifetime can be passed on to its offspring.

Plants use nitrogen in fertilizers for growth. However, much of the nitrogen goes unused. What is one direct outcome of this exc
Olin [163]
There are many environmental negative direct outcomes of unused excess nitrogen from nitrogenous fertilizers. One of these is eutrophication. Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in a water body as a result of fertilizer run offs from the land, which causes a dense growth of plants in the water. Other negative outcomes are: green house effects, acid rain and contamination of underground water which has negative effects on human health.

When a plant leans toward the sun, what is this character of life
likoan [24]

Answer:

Among the seven characteristics in life, the one should be sensitivity. It is where living organisms detect and react to stimulus or changes to the environment.

Specifically among plants, this change is called a tropic response, or tropism for short. Plants reacts to aspects like light, gravity, or water.

This response is controlled by a plant hormone called auxin. Auxin is produced at the tip of the plant, and they diffuse among the plant. The auxin accumulates at the side of the plant that doesn't receive as much sunlight, and auxin can stimulate its growth on that side so the plant bends. That's how a plant bending works.

Anyways, the answer to the question should be sensitivity.

Rob measures the solubility of three different salts in water at 22°C.
Montano1993 [528]
<span>The correct answer to this question is a line graph. If Rob needs to create a graph that is able to display the combination of two different values - in this case, level to which the salt has dissolved and time taken - and he needs to have more than one result included, then a line graph is the way to present this.</span>
