8 0

The United States are entirely located in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordering Canada on the north, and the air masses that form over it have big influence on the climate of the United States. Most of the United States falls under the influence of the air masses coming from the north, with only the southern parts of the east and west coastlines not being heavily affected. The air masses that form over Canada are cold continental air masses. They move towards south, thus toward the United States in November, quickly pushing the warmer air masses, and replacing them, bringing in cold weather conditions, which last until March.

Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations as opposed to individuals.

RSB [31]

Answer:

Natural selection can be described as a phenomenon in which individuals of a population which are better adapted to survive in an environment are favored by nature as compared to the individuals of the population which lack better characteristics to survive in the environment.

Through natural selection, evolution occurs and the allelic frequency changes over a period of time. The process of evolution as well as change in the allelic frequencies does not occur just by a single individual, rather it is a collective effort which takes a lot of time. Hence, we say that natural selection changes the population and not a single individual.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

A. stratified squamous epithelium; absorption

Explanation:

Stratified squamous epithelium are composed of multiple layers of cells which rest on a basement membrane. Superficial layers are made of squamous cells and underlying layers can also be made of cuboidal or columnar cells.

Stratified squamous epithelium is generally present in area where there is frequent physical or chemical abrasion. It protects the underlying structures from the stress. Hence, it is found wherever the body comes in contact with the outer environment like skin, digestive system and respiratory system. It also prevents water loss and desiccation.
