Evolution :).

Descent with modification helps to explain anatomical similarities among certain species. The bones of the forelimbs of humans, cats, and bats (you can add in penguins, alligators, and more) are used in different ways but have similar structures.

The best explanation is that these animals have a common ancestor. With new generations, new species emerged by natural selection from different populations, and with this, the bones become better for different tasks.

The forelimbs and other such structures with anatomical similarities due to a common ancestor are called homologous structures.

Community ecologists study the factors that determine the abundance of different species. The Abundance of three algae species (
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The abundance of three algal species in Lake A is now represented by the vectors:

[97, 84, 43] and [100, 80, 50]

Now if we look at Lake A, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

a = [100 -97, 80 - 84. 50 - 43]

a = [3, -4, 7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|a| = \sqrt{(3)^2 +(-4)^2+(7)^2}

|a| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|a| = \sqrt{74}

|a| =8.6 \ mg/mL

The abundance of three algal species in Lake B is now represented by the vectors:

[25, 59, 22] and [20, 63, 15]

At Lake B, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

b = [20 -23, 63 - 59. 15 - 22]

b = [-3, -4, -7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|b| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(4)^2+(-7)^2}

|b| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|b| = \sqrt{74}

|b| =8.6 \ mg/mL

Hence, for both Lake A and B, the magnitude of change is the same.

16. Explain why pollution caused the shift in the phenotypes of the peppered moth during the Industrial Revolution. (2pts)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer/Explanation:

Pollution during the industrial revolution caused trees to become covered with soot, making them darker. This dark appearance meant that the peppered moth, which usually had a light colour, was clearly visible against the tree. This meant it was easier for predators to identify. As a result, their numbers decreased because they were an easier target.

However, there was also a rarer form of the moth, which was dark in colour. These were initially very rare. However, because of the change in the tree colour owing to the industrial revolution, these moths were better suited to the environment, as they were more camouflaged against the dark tree. This meant it was easier for them to avoid predators, and so they were more likely to survive to reproductive age and pass on the genes that produce the dark colour.  This meant that the dark moths increased in number.

Following a meal glucose must move from the gut lumen where there is a high glucose concentration into the intestinal cell where
Alchen [17]

This movement from a high concentration area to a low concentration are is called Active transport.

<h3>Active Transport</h3>

Active transport by definition is a process that is characterized by the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient. Additionally, this process requires energy.

As in the question above, glucose molecules have to be moved across the gut lumen of higher glucose concentration to the intestinal cells of relatively low level of glucose.

What is the minimum number of cycles necessary to replicate a fragment of DNA over 500 times? How did u determine this?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is "9 cycles".

Explanation:

The minimum number of cycles necessary to replicate a fragment of DNA over 500 times is 9 cycles. In Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method, the fragments of DNA are doubled in each cycle. This means that after "n" cycles, the total number of fragments is given by the equation 2^n. In this case, after 9 cycles a total of 512 DNA fragments will be obtained, because 2^9 is equal to 512.
