A marine biologist explains that the salmon adapts to its environment through descent with modification. What is "descent with m

odification"?
A heritable trait can be changed from one generation to another.
A learned behavior can be modified by each generation of fish in a population.
An offspring is similar to its parents but has unique features that distinguish it.
A useful adaptation is always passed down from a parent to its offspring.

<u>Answer</u>: A heritable trait can be changed from one generation to another.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>descent with modification</em> was given by Darwin which simply states that the traits are passed on from the parents to the offsprings.
  • The traits that can be passed on are known as <em>heritable traits</em>.
  • These traits are passed on with the help of the genes.
  • So this passing on of traits explains the term <em>descent</em> in this concept. However, there are always chances that these heritable traits can be changed due to environmental factors or due to the process of recombination and thus the term <em>modification</em>.
  • So <em>descent with modification</em> means that a<em> heritable trait is passed from parents to offspring but it can be changed from one generation to another.</em>

What is the difference between a control and a variable?
Alla [95]
N an experiment the "control" is the group of people or object this is used to measure the effect of the variable. The "control" is the thing that does not change and is not the thing in question.

In an experiment the "variable" is the thing which is changed and manipulated by the experimenter. It is the effect of something,

Example: You want to test a drug. you get a group of 40 people. 20 people are given the pill, 20 people are not given the pill but a sugar pill. the people who have the pill is the "variable" and the people who dont have the pill is the "control".

4 The graph below shows how the activity of an enzyme changes
choli [55]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6.  - this is true. The optimum pH of the enzyme is where its activity is the highest. On the graph, this is pH 6.6 (activity at 100)

B. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 5.8.  - this is false, the activity of the enzyme peaks at 6.6 (100), at 5.8 the activity is 80

C. The enzyme's activity is greater around pH 8.0 than around  pH 5.0  - This is false, the activity at pH 5 is 50, whereas at around 8 it is 20.

D . The enzyme's activity continually increases as pH increases  from 5.0 to 9.0 - this is false. The activity drops between pH 6.6 and pH 9.
