<span>Notice a couple of things
different between (A) and (B). It was NOT the first time a biologist
proposed that species changed through time (so it's not B). But it
finally *solidified* that idea by giving "change through time"
(evolution) a MECHANISM. It gave a plausible explanation for WHY
species change over time, in a testable way that made sense and had
evidence to support it.
So it finally dismissed the idea that species are constant.
It also emphasized that the simple presence of *variation* within a population was a key reason for evolution.
While we're at it ... (C) is wrong because it's not *individuals* that
acclimate (adapt) to their environment, but the population (the species)
as a whole.
And (D) is wrong because it had nothing to do with economics or the monarchy.</span>
Answer:
to maintain internal balance
Explanation:
The initial stages of human embryogenesis.
8-cell embryo, at 3 days.
Blastocyst with an inner cell mass and trophoblast.
Trophoblast differentiation.
Histogenesis of the three germ layers.
Artificially colored - gestational sac, yolk sac and embryo (measuring 3 mm at 5 weeks)
Embryo attached to placenta in amniotic cavity.
Annual range is the difference of the mean temperature between the hottest and the coldest month.
<span>Cullowhee, NC,
Hottest month:
July - Ave. High: 85 </span>°F ; Ave. Low - 62 °F . Mean = (85+62)/2 = 73.5 °F<span>
Coldest month:
January - Ave. High: 48 </span>°F ; Ave. Low - 24 °F. Mean = (48+24)/2 = 36 °F
Annual Temperature range = 73.5 - 36 = 37.5 °F
<span>
Albuquerque, NM, - </span><span>largest annual temperature range
</span><span>Hottest Month:
July: Ave High: 90 </span>°F ; Ave. Low: 66 °F; Mean = (90 + 66) / 2 = 78 °F<span>
Coldest Month:
December: Ave High: 46 </span>°F ; Ave. Low 26 °F ; Mean = (46 + 26)/2 = 36 °F
Annual Temperature range = 78 - 36 = 42 °F
<span>
Los Angeles, CA - lowest annual temperature range</span>
Hottest Month:
August: Ave High: 79 °F ; Ave. Low: 62 °F ; Mean = (79 + 62) / 2 = 70.5 °F
Coldest Month:
December-March: Ave High: 67 °F ; Ave. Low: 51 °F ; Mean = (67 + 51) / 2= 59 °F
Annual Temperature range = 70.5 - 59 = 11.5 °F
<span>This is avoidance conditioning. Brenda has been able to successfully link the over-the-counter heartburn medicine to an avoidance of discomfort. By taking the pill, she has received a negative reinforcement due to the removal of the indigestion. The reinforcement will likely lead to Brenda continuing to take the medicine until she habituates to it and does not receive the same benefit(s).</span>
