What is true about microevolution?

Biology
2 answers:
iris [78.8K]3 years ago

Microevolution refers to changes that occur within a single species or group or organisms.  Microevolution, as opposed to macroevolution, occurs in a short period of time. In microevolution, the ancestor and the descendant obviously belong to the same type.  For example, certain pests have evolved in such a way that they become immune to pesticides; the same thing has happened to certain weeds and herbicides. Hope this helps.

Microevolution is the changes in allele frequencies that occur over time within a population. This change is due to four different processes which are presented below:


The five agents of microevolution are:

Mutations

Gene Flow

Genetic Drift

Sexual Selection

Natural Selection


The correct answer choice is: A) It is a change in allele frequency within a population.


I hope this helps, Regards.

A hairdryer uses 1500 J of electrical energy in 1 second. The hairdryer changes 1300 J of this to useful thermal energy in 1 sec
Katarina [22]

200 J of energy is wasted by the hair dryer.

Steps

  • The hairdryer is provided with 1500 J of electrical energy per second
  • Of this 1500 J, 1300 J of energy is actually used and converted to useful thermal energy per second
  • The remaining energy, 1500 - 1300 = 200 J is dissipated

Dissipated energy

  • The energy that is not efficiently transported or changed is wasted energy.
  • We cannot create or destroy energy.
  • An employable type of energy is created through transformation.
  • Only a portion of energy that is changed or transferred can be done so in a way that is helpful.

Thus, 200 J of energy is wasted by the hair dryer.

9. What are the characteristics of bacteria?
Alja [10]
Bacteria are single celled prokaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic means that they do not contain membrane-bound organelles. In simpler terms, they don't have cell parts within their cytoplasm. Bacteria are classified by their shape- round or cocci, rod or bacilli, and spiral or spirilla. Bacteria may also have long whip-like tails called flagella or be covered with small hair-like projections called cilia. Both structures are used for movement. Bacteria may have a cluster of free floating DNA in its cytoplasm called a nucleoid or they may have additional small rings of DNA called plasmids. Lastly, a bacterium have a cell wall made of a special compound called peptidoglycan which can provide an extra layer of protection from many environmental conditions.

What is it called when vesicles are used to move substances into a cell
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Endocytosis

Explanation:

Some molecules that are required by a cell are so large that they cannot pass into a cell by either the cell membrane or by any carrier protein. These molecules are transported into the cell by the process named as endocytosis.

In this process, the cell membrane forms a vesicle, a membrane-bound sac, around the large molecule. Then, the vesicle pinches the molecule into the cytoplasm of the cell. Energy is required for this process to occur.
