Sedbober [7]

Answer:

This is an example of "Disruptive selection".

Explanation:

<em>Disruptive selection</em> occurs when <em>selective pressure</em> <em>favor homozygous</em>. In equilibrium, <em>the two alleles might be present or one of them might be lost</em>. If an environment has two extremes, then in these environments, both alleles are presented in homozygous.  

The disruptive selection causes an <em>increase</em> in the two types of <em>extreme phenotypes over the intermediate forms</em>. Limits between one extreme and the other are frequently very sharped. Individuals belonging to one phenotype can not live in the same area as individuals belonging to the other phenotype, due to the traits differences between them, competition, or predation.

Populations show two favored extreme phenotypes and a few individuals in the middle. Individuals who survive best are the ones who have traits on the <u>extremes forms</u>.  Individuals in <u>the middle</u> are not successful at survival or reproduction.

<em>Color</em> is very important when it comes to <em>camouflage</em>. Dark green caterpillars that live in dark foliage and light green caterpillars that live in light foliage can <em>hide from predators</em> more effectively and will live the longest. Intermediate colored green caterpillars that don't camouflage or blend into either will be eaten more quickly.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

It is a seeded vascular plant.

It does not depend on insect pollination.

Explanation:

The complete question is: <em>A scientist has discovered a new plant species in the Amazon rainforest. She tells her fellow scientists that the plant she has found produces a cone. What might they say about how this plant is different from an angiosperm? Its seeds have one or two cotyledons. Its stems' vascular bundles are scattered. It does not depend on insect pollination. It is a seeded vascular plant. </em>

<em />

<em>The correct option would be that the plant is a seeded vascular plant and does not depend on insect pollination.</em>

Gymnosperms are the only group of plants that produce cones. They are one of the plant groups that have vascular tissues in the form of xylem and phloem as well as been able to produce seed in the form fo cones. Hence, they are said to be seeded vascular plants.

Gymnosperms also carry out their pollination by relying solely on wind for the transfer of their pollen grain to the female organ. In other words, they do not depend on insect for pollination.

The poison cyanide binds to the last complex of the electron transport chain and prevents it from accepting electrons. Assuming
Marianna [84]

Answer:

ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will stop.

Explanation:

Cyanide inhibits cytochrome oxidase that passes electrons to the molecule oxygen. Cytochrome oxidase also pumps two protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space during electron transfer. Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase would not allow the transfer of electrons to oxygen and the whole electron transport chain would be stopped. There would not be any generation of proton concentration gradient to drive the process of ATP synthesis. Hence, ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will be stopped after cyanide poisoning in aerobic cells.

In order for sharks to maintain a concentration balance with it’s environment, a
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

B. retain its urine in it’s blood stream

Explanation:

Sharks are cartilaginous fishes that lives in the ocean. Oceans are always salty, hence organisms need to maintain a salt-water balance between their internal and external environment because of osmosis. Sharks are able to maintain this by ensuring that the amount of solutes in their internal environment is as much as that in their external environment.

Sharks retain a chemical contained in urine called UREA in their bloodstream to counter the osmotic effect of the salt concentration in the waters they live. This helps them maintain a concentration balance with their environment.
